Glad you fixed your problem. Michael's advice is the exact same advice I have given to others for the other 3D software I use.


If you're experiencing blue screens, always look to the installed driver (video drvrs for 3d apps, audio drvrs for music apps etc.)


I'm at the point now where I only buy computers with NVidia graphics in them.

I've had probs with ATIs in the past and I hate to say but Intel is the worst.


We had Dells here at work and they had Intel 82xxx integrated graphics, in my Silo 3D app, every other polygon was transparent when I subdivided my models - ugh!

Fortunately now, we have Dells with NVidia (I screamed and yelled for NVidia when the reqs when out for new boxes!) so everything works fine...

That's great news bmabam, I'm glad that you are up and running on that laptop now!

Blue screens are no fun...

My guess is that they probably don't want to put anything up on their Dell support site unless they have had a chance to test it themselves... But of course that takes time to do so it is easy for it to not get done.

Sometimes newer drivers can actually have new bugs in them as well, although that seems to be getting to be much less common than it used to be.
