video driver failed to initialize blue screen?

Post by ICSWindos14DEV »

I installed ReactOS on a VM but I had to re-install it several times because an error named "video driver failed to initialize"
It mostly appears when I change the display resolution.
Now what can I do to prevent this problem? :?

You need to at least list the VM software and version number and the revision of ReactOs you used, for anyone to help

It sometimes appears after reboot in Virtualbox guest additions installation.

Provide those next time in text form and give a thorough description on your next issue that you raise from the outset. It helps to avoid this back and forth and assists those that might help you (in any support environment).

Where did you obtain the ROS download from? Did you select a daily build?

Are there any specific features, improvements, or bug fixes in the Nightly builds that make them more recommended for testing and evaluation?
