Thanks again for your reply and I'll try to answer all of your questions.
I found the control panel for my driver which is XFX manufactured by Nividia.
After installing the new driver the other day, I did remove the old driver and updated to the new driver.
Under appearrance "Let the 3D application decide" was checked so I changed it to "Use my perference emphasizing Quality" and slid the slider all the way to the Quality side.
The Hardware display is set to "Multiple display performance mode" I didn't know if that was correct or not so let it alone.
The Anisotropic filter was set to "Application controlled" and there was a choice of None, 2x, 4X or 8X. I set it to 4x
The Anitaliasing setting was set to "Application controlled" and there was a choice of None, 2x, 2Xq, 4X, 8XS I set it to 4X
I upgraded the Direct 9 the other day.
I just tried to add some text to a picture in a slideshow with it set to "hardware" and it crashed as soon as I tried to type in the text so I changed the anisotropic and anitaliasing settings to 8X and 8XS respectfully and it worked longer. I could type in text and change color, but tried to change color again and it crashed again. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Those filters should have been left alone.
Is the text you are using something from the program or something special from a different program/download ?
Does the program crash when you use the 3D transitions? Those would be the hardest for the card to handle. When you run the rendering test now, does the program default to hardware or software?
nVidia doesn't make cards; just chips. In dxdiag, what does the left side of the window show under the display tab.? Does it list your specific card?
I do not have any other suggestions except to do a repair on the program. If that doesn't work, do a clean uninstall and reinstall.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.
