I agree as it's starting to look more like that issue. When updating the computer drivers, it's important to remove tlopo completely, update the computer, then relaunch the newest tlopo from the site. Sometimes the order of updates is a factor depending on how a 3rd party reads and stores data when it loads. Might as well start with a fresh Tlopo, it wouldn't hurt.Had a feeling you were going to say Intel Graphics... Best I can say is make sure your drivers are up to date. Intel Graphics and TLOPO (since PYP) don't seem to play nice together, when it comes to this particular thing. If you had said desktop, I'd say see if you could grab a cheap nVidia or Radeon card to throw in, but that's not exactly an option on a laptop.
And a cheap/expensive nvidia or radeon gpu? There isn't many choices is there? Just the two biggies and every other 3rd party card uses their chipsets. Another thing is, do we know if tlopo is optimized for SLI or multi gpu's?
