That's a good point...if you've installed any graphics driver of your own,
that would do a lot to explain the problems you're seeing. The
graphics driver shipped with the systems works with multiprocessing
unlike the newer drivers currently on NVidia's website. The graphics driver
version that came with your system is 1.0-1420. Please consult support
before changing the driver on your system.
Again, please continue to work with us through the support channels.
thanks,
