igfxext error
Hi,
I have a Vaio Fit (non-touch) laptop that is a few months old, running Windows 8.1. I've run "Vaio update" and "Windows update". So I think everything is up-to-date. I am using a Plugable UD-3000 docking station. Every time I reboot the laptop, I get a "igfxext stopped working" error; the dialog is presented by Windows. Everything seems to otherwise work OK. I am running a VGA monitor through the UD-3000 in mirror mode. Thoughts? |

You could try updating the integrated video drivers to the latest ones directly from Intel... I believe these would be what you want (assuming 64-bit Windows):

Thanks for that suggestion. I tried that earlier and downloaded the 162MB (!) driver package straight from Intel. When I tried to run it, the installer wouldn't continue; "Your drivers are supplied by your laptop manufacturer, and you will need to get any updates from them".
There was no option to "proceed anyways". |

Hi,
This method will install the latest Intel graphics drivers on your system. http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-033916.htm Thanks, James |
