    Exclamation OpenGL Screensavers crash (for Dells)

    Dont know how many of you have this problem, i looked in the DellTalk forum for this. Our new PCs (Optiplex GX110s) have a problem when they run the screen savers in OpenGL, those 3D ones. They always crash when they're ran, previewed, or even displayed. I've only seen this occur on Dells with a 16MB TNT M64 PCI card.

    A solution:
    Upgrade the video card drivers to the reference ones from Nvidia, and install the latest DirectX 2 times. It usually takes care of this... I'm 25 for 25, and ready to tackle my other 350 that are like this.
    Good old NetWare 3.11... if only modern O/Ss were made of the same stuff. Forget Windows 2000 for 99.999% uptime, this one had it ten years ago.

    I haven't noticed anything on mine yet. I'll try it out a little later I am running a program that takes a while and I DO NOT want it to crash. hehe.

    I run the exact same setup as you described though.
