<p>I have been able to play EQ2 on my corporate laptop for a long time, even been able to attend raids.  As recently as January I was able to play without any issues.  However, some time since then, I have been having a problem where the game just freezes, then the video driver crashes.  Only a reboot of the system brings it back.  It doesn't occur with any particular kind of activity.  I can be fighting, just moving, crafting, etc.  No eq2 crash logs, as it is the whole system that is going.</p><p>In regards to the video drivers, it is an IBM Thinkpad T43p.  Standard ATI/AMD drivers will not install.  I get a message insisting that I use the ones from the laptop manufacturer.  Lenovo's video drivers were last updated in 2007.  I have the latest drivers, and have tried the previous version as well.</p><p><a href="http://www.duckandcats.com/logfiles/dxdiag.txt" target="_blank">Dxdiag.txt</a></p><p><a href="http://www.duckandcats.com/logfiles/msinfo.txt" target="_blank">MSInfo.txt</a></p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>If you've tried several different driver versions then it's possible that you've got some driver residue mess causing problems.  You might want to try running a driver cleaner program and reinstalling with the most recent version. </p><p>I would also suggest making sure that all of the fans and vents are clear of dust/debris.  Operating the laptop on a flat surface that wont block the airways is important as well.  If this started recently then it could be caused by heat buildup in the system.</p>
