Check the web site of the maker of your video card for the latest display driver they offer for your hardware and OS.

How much VRAM do you have on GPU?  Believe 512 is min. for certain functions of 3D.

Just as an idea, thinking out of the traditional box.  This is almost the identical approach I took to get my current workstation quite inexepensively, and it's very powerful.  The prices I'm showing here are what I was able to find just now from eBay and various suppliers.

  • T5400 system from eBay with dual Xeon X5460 processors and an old video card, 2 x 500 GB HDDs:  $639
  • 2 x OCZ Vertex 4 256G SSDs (to become a 512 GB RAID 0 drive C:):  $406
  • VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 7850 2 GB GDDR5 card:  $210
  • Windows 7 x64 Pro license:  $140

You of course would have to use your current monitor and probably keyboard, mouse, etc. but those things can be purchased in addition to the system unit relatively inexpensively if you need them.  You might want to use whatever optical writer you currently have, or you can get a new one.  Even a high-end blu-ray writer is cheap at like $60.

Whatever you get, I suggest budgeting another $150 for a 3 TB external Western Digital MyBook USB drive for backups as well.

This is not tantamount to building a system - it's getting a full system and unplugging and changing out a few parts with high-end replacements.

For under $1500 this 8 core system will score 10,000+ on the PassMark benchmark, and will outperform most new systems.  How do I know this?  Because I personally have a T5400 with 16 GB and exactly those Xeon X5460 processors (though a lesser video card).  My workstation is quite powerful even by today's standards.  Photoshop comes up in 3 seconds, and I'm able to work on quite large images without any trouble.

You will be able to set the two SSDs up in RAID 0 arrangement, AND the two HDDs in RAID 0, AND the optical drive (there are 5 on-board SATA ports and an on-board Intel ESB2 RAID controller that Windows 7 knows how to use).  An option might be to get a couple more SSDs and make a 4 drive 1 TB C: drive.  Or you can add them later.

It's just a thought.

Station_two and Noel! Thanks SO much for taking the time to respond to my questions on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I am sorry if I derailed the topic of the thread with my request for system information, but on the other hand I think it may be relevant if is to solve the problem of the error at hand... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!  :-)

Noel, I will arm myself with the information you provide and GO SHOPPING!... I am thinking that I could probably treat myself to a new system that hopefully would last me for another 4 years (the last one was only good for two, as it has been for the last couple of systems). We are talking here about my personal computer. At work I would not be so lucky!   So, to give you an overall idea of what I may have for budget is should be around  $1,500 and just for the processor as I already have a good-enough-for-now monitor and keyboard, so I am right on the mark with what you are suggesting.  I have also lately purchased a couple of external drives (2TB ea) that I used as a backup for my images... but files are getting bigger and bigger.  So I just have to think, as you wisely mentioned, in a system that can expand as my images continue to pile up. Storage has not been a problem, but the processing of large files has proven to be the week link of my system, so I guess is time to update.

Thank you again Station_two and Noel and have a wonderful afternoon!  Hopefully all errors will be history with this new system!  :-)
