Thanks Katie, Ray, and CLB, for your replies.
Nvidia doesn't provide drivers for laptop display cards, I have to get that from the laptop manufacturer. The problem occurred before I updated the driver from Dell, and then after as well.
There is no error message. The program just hangs and the cursor indicates that it's "thinking". She has to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out and restart VW. Is there some kind of error log that might provide a clue?
Are there any particular settings you folks have for dual monitor w/ laptop setups?
Otherwise the laptop runs VW well. The display card is Nvidia 6800 GeoForce Go w/ 256 MB memory. The laptop has 2 GB of RAM, the rest is equally "loaded".
Thanks,
Felix
