Flash causing NVIDIA driver to fail

ruuu · 08-30-2011, 08:10 PM

Within a couple seconds/minutes of playing an Adobe Flash video on my main display the screens flicker and I get "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, version 280.26 stopped responding and has successfully recovered." However the flash video is now solid green, audio is fine. This does not happen with quicktime video.

I was getting same error with 266.58 but I updated NVIDIA driver to the latest.

This does not happen when my Displaylink device is removed. Only installed the Kensington Displaylink adapter yesterday.

Win 7 Pro, 32-bit
Dell Vostro 1310, Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 3GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
Running 1280x800 (native) on laptop screen [primary], VGA out to HP w2408 running 1920x1200, and Displaylink adapter running 1680x1050 on Viewsonic VX2255wm-4.
Adobe Flash 10.3.183.5
Displaylink 5.6.31870.0
NVIDIA 280.26
