Another GEEK question

any ideas where I
can
get an upgrade/reinstall of my ATI Graphics device? I freeze up about
once
a
week while on screensaver mode (always in precisely the same spot), and
the
error message blames my ATI driver. I can't find an upgrade on the
Raytheon
site, but I do find a lot of similar complaints on google from other
users.

I dunno about that one, I assume the link above might be a good start.
Raytheon makes video cards, eh? They must be leftovers from the smartbomb
production runs...

I do wonder if that screensaver you are using is a standard windows
screensaver or some other piece of code? In my experience, non-standard
screensavers are a total pain in the ass and should be avoided.

Raytheon didn't make the card, either ATI did or it was manufactured with
an ATI chipset. I'd look here http://www.ati.com/

Well, it was close. My display adaptor is manufactured by ATI, and is listed
in my device manager as 'Mobility Radeon'. Somehow, I got 'Raytheon; out of
that..

So when I get the error message saying "the fault lies in your ATI Graphics
Driver", they are talking about my display adaptor (manufactured by ATI),
right? Thats what I'm looking at upgrading.

try downloading and installing this driver...the one under 'high speed' will
be a lot easier than dealing with the other three....
