Now in many laptops our video graphics cards even when manufactured by another company like ATI or NVidia outsourced and promoted as a nice upgrade for better faster performance and graphics... these cards are still many times built-in hard solder like as part of the actual motherboard... I know that I have one of the Mentioned above NVidia cards a Quadro Version I believe 285 or something like that on my newest (3 years old now) Dell Laptop... So what to do if this is the problem?
I am so glad to have come across this because I have been having intermidant Blue Screen Crap with every kind of warnings and Dell Kept trying to update drivers and other stuff to no avail and more recently wanted me to reload my harddrive but I have yet to do so.
Now I wonder how much of my errors are actually simply these back and forth code problems between two large waring parties and us end users are simply stuck in the middle. Worst yet, How much do the OEM's know about this no less how much do their tech's boots on the ground really know about this and to help tease out what is what???? If only the VP in charge of Tech support and software, hardware conflicts knows about this but his techs on the phone don't know about it, then it's as good as not knowing at all.... Sheesh....
Now I need to check the Cards all around the office... now then it would seem to me that even the "Main" or server machine would then experience problems if it had the "right, Wrong" kind of card might we say???? Yes? So that even the main home base, server machine in a small XP Network P2P set up would possibly glitch on this because it is really the card and it software drivers verses the OS's code conflicting or messing one another up???? So we have to make sure we have an ATI like, non-Nvidia like card inside our server then I would assume before moving forward with updating and installing for smooth sailing and useage with AC????
Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Well at least it is an answer even if I don't exactly "like" the answer.... now we know what the deal is and how to hopefully address it... Thanks much for that....
