Vista ehtray

Unfortunately neither was successful for me. For: "run msconfig under the startup tab, uncheck "dmedia" and restart" I was unable to find anything in there called dmedia. I had no problem getting rid of unwanted tray icons by stopping ehtray.

However, I usually stop start-up programs using WinPatrol, a free program much better than msconfig. Things usually don't come back. Try this to get rid of ehtray and the other ehs. What Nvidia video driver are you using? Really shouldn't be crashing when using a DX game. Hibernating should also not be a problem with the E This repair is not like the XP version. It is a start-up repair. You may have a corrupt file, or possibly a real virus. Are you by any chance using a wireless mouse with the laptop , especially one from MS?

I've tried a few driver updates for the nvidia already. First I went to nvidias site, they sent me to Dell's. I pulled down the latest driver from Dell and installed.

Had the problem. The crashing happens either randomly during the gameplay where I will lose video for about 30 seconds either screen freeze or blank blackness and then it returns to normal after a sort of screen flash that implied reinitialization of something videoish to me. Occasionally I will come out of hibernation and everything is fine for a few minutes and then screen lock.

Sometimes it will recover from that other times I must force a reboot. The screen locks are pretty intermittent and generally not fatal although occasionally can be. I just get the feeling that theres some kind of incompatibility or conflict between my nvidia driver and WMC, perhaps not but it just sort of has symptoms that lead me that way. I'm fairly certain there is no virus, the machine is only about a week old.

I've had hijack this and AVG on it from the beginning and have installed almost nothing on it yet. Just use the default driver and use a third party software like mine or event ghost and prevent ehtray from running.

If I format and reload with the copy of Vista from Dell, won't that just be reloading the same problem? If I understand the fellow in the similar thread, he's loading s with a clean image of Vista as distributed by Dell and they all hang.
