What is the best way to figure out what driver is causing problems to your computer? I had an error report that told me the reason for my crashes is a driver problem. I don't know where to start to try find the problem driver. Some advice for a newbie would be greatly appreciated. Also, I did run my windows update..........

When did the problem start happening? did it start after a drive update? did it start after new hardware was added? Did you install any programs? Have you checked your event viewer to see if it will give you the exact driver? just a few questions to get ya started! hope that helps.
-ps if you have a nvidia based video card, have you tried the latest detonator drivers? it seems that most driver problems are caused by video cards.

You really need to know which Device has the Driver problem
Right Click on My Computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager
Look to see if any Device has a Yellow Exclamation mark by it

YES I DO HAVE THE NVIDA BASED VIDEO CARD!!!! The prob seemed to start after I downloaded and installed it and in the back of my mind I kept thinking that was the problem. Thanks, I'll see if thats it and if not I'll use your other advice. THANKS
