Answer» I have a Samsung R40 laptop that I bought in 2007, running Windows XP. My graphics card is ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Series, and the driver is VERSION 8.242.0.0.
Lately videos and GAMES have started to freeze or stutter, and I wonder if a driver update COULD help the problem. On the Samsung website, the only download offered is the same version. On driverscollection.com, I found version 9.8, but as all the advice I've read says laptop updates should come from the laptop manufacturer, I wanted to CHECK before I download from someplace else. Should I download, or leave it alone? Is there anything else that could be causing the problem?
Thanks in advance.I'd leave it alone. If this happened all of a sudden why would you think it's the driver?Sorry, that wasn't clear. It didn't really come on SUDDENLY, it's just gotten bad enough recently to really annoy me. But I'm not too tech savvy, so I don't know what the causes could be - just grasping at straws, really.
