  1. 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
  2. Thanks for your reply. She's not doing any 3D, just 2D construction docs. There's something like a 2D acceleration setting in VW that we turned off, and also tried to reduce Windows display adapter hardware acceleration, but this hasn't fixed the problem either.
  3. I'm posting for my wife, who is having serious crashing problems while zooming. This didn't start until we added a 2nd monitor to her laptop but we're not certain that it's the culprit because it has since crashed without it. She's using Ver.11.5.1, WinXP, fully patched OS, latest graphics card driver, with all non-essential startup items removed and free of viruses or spyware. System is a Dell Inspiron 9300 with Nvidia 6800 256MB graphics card. Primary display is the laptop, secondary display is Dell 20" flat panel. Is there some setting she should change to stop this from happening, or some patch we haven't seen? It's completely messing up her workflow. Thanks! Felix
