Hi all,
I am running stupid vista with intel graphics, and Foldit crashes my display driver. It was infrequent before the latest update, but with the update crashed 4 times consecutively. I updated my driver and now it isn't crashing (so far), but now the protein is really low-resolution. I'm afraid to roll back my driver and start crashing again. Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion Seth. I tried that, but vista won't let me. It says my current display driver doesn't allow changes to hardware acceleration... I also tried "disable desktop composition" in the foldit file, but that made no difference.

Have you tried turning off hardware acceleration? Instructions are in the FAQ.
