The Sims 3 and my display driver?
-
The Sims 3 and my display driver do not get along. I bought the Sims 3 when it came out, July/June 2009, if I remember correctly. My display driver would shut down or stop working, the screen would go black and at worse the game would shut down. My display driver always recovered though. Unfortunely, I am not as computer savvy as most and do not know what my display driver really is or how to stop this. I am assuming display=my graphics, screen; driver= what the hell keeps it running, etc. Besides the problems I bought the expansion packs, World Adventures and Ambitions. The display driver problem was better to be honest. Less crashes. Tonight I was playing, tomorrow I am going to buy the new expansion pack: Late Night. Anyway, it did something new. My entire computer crashed because of it. Green screen, and windows had to restart. Now I have something urging me to look into my Intel graphics driver. "Intel graphics driver has stopped working properly. A driver update, if available, might prevent this problem from recurring. There are several ways of locating and installing driver updates, but it is best to let Windows do this for you. Try the first step below, which describes the process. If it doesn't produce a driver update that solves the problem, then try the remaining steps in the order given." I honestly don't know what the issue is; however, I would love for someone to A. explain it. B. inform me of how to fix the problem. Thank you.

Answer:
Go to the dell website under the support section. There is a "service code" on a sticker on the computer. use this code to get to the drivers for your graphics. Download the latest ones and run them once downloaded. This should update them to the newest drivers.
