Graphics drivers are ok, unless the video card (integrated) is an outlier that cannot support opengl? But I dont think so.. I should redownload all the packages.... start again.. hmmm.... thx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have integrated in both machines? What type are they? I would await @BFCElvis - he will probably ask you what extraction tool you used for the download and go from there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
