Ok anyone who may know. When in game and during an event with lots of stuff going on at the same time everything freezes and then I get this message..

The ialmrnt5 display driver has stopped working normally. Save your work and reboot system to restore full display functionality..Yada yada yada.

Changes screen pixels and settings.. So has anyone had this problem and know what I need to do to get it fixed...IE graphics card, NEW Comp, etc.. If so please tell me. Thanks

I used to get that error all the time, especially when switching windows between NWN and anything else.. I upgraded my graphics card and it hasn't done it since.

Give more details about your graphics card.

It is a Dell Hp 3000. Mem 2-256 memory cards so 513 Mb Ram
Video Card is one that came with it. Have plans on buying 1 Gig Ram card which would give me 1256 Ram.

512mb is enough, 1024 would be better. Upgrade that video card. Dell normally uses intergrated video which sucks. You can get one cheap, Nvidia FX5200's around me go for like $24.00.

Get one with atleast 64mb of video memory.

If ifs a fairly old machine it probably doesnt have PCI-e.

If this is the case I'd recommend what i have, which is the nVidea 7200 series for AGP.

I got a 512 version recently and it smooth as anything
