Default Video device driver problem
I have an old V2Premier computer (bought in 2002) with an S3 Savage 32MB AGP Video and VIA Apollo PM266 and S3 Savage 4. The problem is that a few minutes after I access Google Earth the computer crashes (the colors get distorted and the letter and icons get very big). I have to close all programs and re-start it to make it operational again. The Windows Error Reporting shows an error message: STOP 0x000000EATHREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER(Q293078). It directs me to install the most current device driver for my video card. But I don't know where to find it nor how to install it. I will appreciate your help; but please keep it simple I am just a beginner. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Before you install the driver that Boyblue linked you to, uninstall the current video drivers thru Add and Remove Programs. I suggest you download the new drivers to your Desktop so you can find them easily.

After the uninstall, you will have to re-boot the PC. Wait a little while and Windows will pop up and say it's found new hardware. Click Cancel, and run the installer from the drivers that you downloaded. Chris.
