Before you go thru all the trouble of re-installing your graphics card, you may just want to try double-clicking one of the tools . . . .

I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by double clicking one of the tools as it just brings up the tool options

Gster, ya sound like a monomaniac, all I am suggesting that they try double clicking on the tool icon, if it don't work, that's fine, they can try your suggestion. My suggestion worked for me, it may not have worked for YOU, but it's a lot shorter solution than going through the trouble of re-installing the graphics card.

Suggesting off the bat re-installing the graphics card, when a solution may be easier may not be such a good idea . . . . would you want to go through all the trouble of re-installing a graphics card if there was a possiblility it could be fixed by double-clicking an icon? :headbang:

Mr. Ed? . . . . hahahaha Mr. Ed goes a long ways back, I can barely remember seeing a few of those shows. . . . Chicken probably got run over by someone who didn't see it . . . .

Therefore, to me, if you hear the horse crossing the road then you see its on the opposite side of the road you assume its crossed the road
