I recently started getting two error messages in Event Viewer upon boot up of my one-year old Lenovo T60P, XP syystem - an Error ID 43033 Edid Checksum error and Error ID 43044 Unknown Edid version, both Category DAL, Source ati2mtag. (I have an ATI FireGL5200 video card.)
What the heck does and Edid error message indicate exactly?
Can you please send the exact wording of the error message, don't truncate it!.
It mean that the EDID is corrupt or damaged, one of two the Video Card or the MOBO drivers.
Get the latest drivers for your Motherboard from the laptop manufacturer website.

Have a look in the Event Viewer for error messages(X) that can shed some
light and post it back in your next post by performing the following and also
the System File Checker (SFC) sfc /scannow:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Below is the file of the Error Message. (Today, I only get this one and not the "Checksum Error" message.)
Event Type: Error
Event Source: ati2mtag
Event Category: DAL Event ID: 43034
Date: 1/1/2008
Time: 9:19:09 AM
User: N/A
Computer: LENOVO-EE9A792F
Description:
Unknown EDID version
Data:

0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
I ran the Windows System File Checker, and after it was done (i.e., after the progress bar was complete) it gave no messages or anything. Is this normal or is there supposed to be a log file of its results somewhere?
I do have the latest Lenovo-approved driver update for the ATI FireGL 5200 video card.
