Re: Demo has stopped rendering images

We have Joy! I am duel booting Ubuntu 12 on this machine, so I thought duh, try it in Linux, It is working there! Actually I was thinking that it was my GPU that had in some way gone belly-up, now I need to figure out why Windows is not working... Continued help is much appreciated. 8-)
