He means that if you have multiple graphics adapters, does switching your display to one of the other adapters exhibit the same problem. Since your T530 only has one graphics adapter, that doesn't apply. I guess you could try using an external monitor and see if the problem persists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Overweight: When you step on your dog's tail...and it dies. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
