Windows Update broke my video games - I have Intel Video

External Since: May 12, 2006 Posts: 2

I have a Dell Latitude with the Intel Video Card. Three days ago,
Windows Update downloaded two updates. A video game I play on a
regular basis, Galactic Civ 2, generates an Application Error message
immediately after starting. I re-install the Intel Video driver I
downloaded from Dell, and the game runs fine. HOWEVER, If I reboot the

system, and try to start the game, I get the Application Error message
again. To play the game, I have to reinstall the video driver and
reboot the system before hand, every time. Windows "security" update
screwed up my system bigtime, and I disabled the feature. Does anyone

have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks Paul - I restored back to the day before the automatic update,
and that fixed the problem. Apparently something in those updates broke
something pertaining to how the Intel Graphics drivers worked, because
after the rollback the game loaded just fine.
