hi Matt, Im fine, back to uni (BCA Honours) in two days. Hope life is fine for you and you got through the group thing OK. I hate groups at uni, always there is one person who does 98% of the work.

Anyway, the driver.., are you sure it is the latest, did you recently upgrade maya?? Open GL is relatively new and if your graphics card id good but old, you might be in trouble if you recently upgraded maya.

did you delete the other driver first and then restart so your OS can find the AVG driver?? Then install the new driver (did this happen after you installed a new driver, if so.., roll back) Probably you dont have to restart to let the system find the AVG driver (I hope I am in the correct decade here)but Im just superstitious about it.

Gster or any of these guys know WAY more than me. As Matt said an incompatibility..?? any new software you have put on.., maybe your motherboard or video card is on the way out, so be prepared for that.
