Hi,

My Compaq Presario 2190US began Locking-Up, several months ago, only when I
was on ebay or some other site where there were a lot of graphic page
downloading.

I sent Error Message to Microsoft and the reply window instructed me to
download the lastest Display Driver from Ati Technologies, which is my OEM's
display system.


If your machine is a Compaq then you should get your display drivers
from the HP/Compaq website and not from ATI.

HP/Compaq purchases ATI video chips in bulk quantities and then
fabricates these into their own motherboards, with some modifications.
Hopefully the updated drivers from HP/Compaq will resolve your issues.

Good luck
