Anyone having problems losing the ability to use 3D in the last week or so? I'm running Windows 7 x64. One of the automatic updates in the last week has definitely caused AGX to no longer run 3D view. I restored the system to before a set of automatic updates, and it works again. I then manually loaded updates in sets of 3, trying to isolate the cause, and things were fine. I stopped with 3 remaining, but the system went ahead and loaded them and several more last night on shutdown. This morning, 3D is not working again. I'll try to narrow it down to a specific update but if anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

OK. This took forever, but the problem was with Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset update on Windows 7/x64, Dell Inspiron 560. This was done via an automatic update about a week ago. I reinstalled the original driver (Q43/Q45/G43/G45 (Eaglelake) Graphics Controller 8.15.10.184) from the Dell site, and, voila!, 3D is back.

What a pain... .
