My pc doesn't show this option. Before a crash of the system, I could enable block transfer, but now the option disappeared. I installed the system with the 3.77 drivers from Dell's support site. Do I have to install opengl seperately? In gpl I can opt for opengl. Any ideas? Remco Moedt <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws [email hidden]...

Ah, ok....you must have a certain driver version to have this option I guess...but not all is lost, a certain Billy posted this message, maybe this will help you...
