Yes, you do. Check device manager. It's under display adapters. Open its properties sheet and select check for updates.
And install the windows updates.
FG does it tend to crash with certain files. (avi,xvid,dvix) could be a corrupt codec. might want to try and re-install the codec pack.
My display adaptor is 356MB of shared (mobile intel 965 express chipset family)
I never installed a codec pack. I have installed real alternative and whatever came with VLC.
I use CCCP codec pack (comunity codec pack), and never had problems with it. Give it a go.
the 965 chipset can also be updated from the intel web site.
Update*****
The Nvidia update that enabled Physics engine and the multi monitor on SLI actually removed 90% of the crashes.
So always update drivers first.
