Re: driver stopped responding

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

To boot into Safe Mode, you press F8 several times before Windows logo.
Should go to a menu. select "Safe Mode".

Run your antivirus program. I don't think yo have virus. Can't believe it
would only affect one file.

Copy ati2dvag.dll from C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 to
C:\windows\system32 if prompts to replace file, select yes.

If you don't have file, you will have to go to Toshiba Website and download
video driver or video driver may be on your Toshiba driver CD ( at least I
hope you have one). If download from web site, save file and then dbl click
it to run setup program.

Toshiba driver cd should have some driver setup menu. just put cd in cd
drive. it may auto start or use My computer/Explorer to access drive and
select and then dbl click "setup" file/icon.
