Re-Install ST Problems/Crashing

keyser_soze · 10-20-2005, 02:12 PM

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

Did you install all of the updated drivers from IBM when you changed OS versions?

If it's critical that it works, maybe you should go back to Win2K at least temporarily. Use IBM's system recovery disk/feature if you have it.
