Resolution

Easy Media Creator 9 and 10

This error is generally related to your video card and it's compatibility. Easy Media Creator 9 and 10 is compatible with nearly all current video cards. However, please verify:

  1. Your video card drivers are up to date. Contact your video card manufacturer for the latest video card drivers. If you purchased your computer as a complete system (like Dell or HP), then go to the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers.

    If you purchased your video card separately, then you will need to find out your make and model and go to the video card manufacturer's website to download.

    • To find out the driver details (such as version), right click on the make and model under Display adapter, and select Properties.
