Hi Mario,

Before when I tried downloading directly from intel, the installer quit
because my laptop manufacturer disables generic vendor drivers from being
installed. I brute forced my way through that and installed the Beta 15.45.
Readme in the driver zip file the driver version reads 21.20.16.4552. So I
guess that is suppose to be that way. I'll try to investigate more issues
with my chipset and that DLL.

I was able to try on another computer that had the same graphics chip but a
different CPU and I could NOT reproduce the error. Looking more and more
like it might be specific to this machine.

Thanks for all your help

Hi Mario,

I was able to try on another computer that had the same graphics chip but a
different CPU and I could NOT reproduce the error. Looking more and more
like it might be specific to this machine.
