Re-Install ST Problems/Crashing
Hello All,
I had to re-image my laptop and installed a new hard-drive and a fresh copy of Windblows XP (upgraded from WindBlows 2000). First I had problems just installing ST. It told me I had to unmarry my AP from my car? Which I did. Then it would not still connect to it until I installed the AP software on there...software is now installed. All good. My problem now: As I browse around tables with the graphs displaying; all of the sudden it freezes. It seems like my graphic card fails (display resolution goes to something like 400x600) I get a message on my laptop saying "Microsoft Windows detected and recovered from a device failure. Please save your work and reboot to restore full functionality." So then I I have to reboot and everything works again until I do the same thing. With the graphs turned off I seem to not have this problem. So I see it somehow graphic/graphic card related. Please help I am going for professional tuning and the last thing I need is this thing poopin out in the middle of live tuning or anything... IBM thinkpad T23 500 M Ram 1.2 Ghz PIII StreetTUNER 2005 USDM WRX STi: Version: 1, 0, 5, 3 Build Date: Sep 20 2005 I did not have any issues previously runing Windblows 2000. Thanks

Try updating directx. It is an opengl graph, but I remember somebody getting theirs to work with the new directx.
