Have you installed the 32bit driver?


if not this is most likely your cause of the problem, 64bit drivers shouldn't work on 32bit

As said. No problems running a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit hardware. You will need 32 bit drivers though.

yeah the driver is still the one that it came with, so hmm yeah ill try install the 32 bit driver thanks guys,


Im planning on reformatting the laptop to 64 bit in the up coming semes, since 1 g ram is going to waste.



the driver failing is up to the point no where the laptop just completly goes black without recovery so i have to restart the whole laptop.



Thanks again ill try install the 32 bit driver off the site and see what happens
