On a side note, I have enough problems with my NVIDIA at home and dealing with the graphics in some of the new(er) games.

Last year we went to dual monitors for mapping production and had NVIDIA installed. For a period everything worked perfectly but then after a while, small things caused MapInfo to freeze - move label, move between layout and map, zoom, select object to name a few. When MapInfo froze, this also caused all other open programs to deteriorate to "Not Responding" status until the whole PC needed to be shut down and re-started. This could take 15 to 20 minutes. During this time when taskmanager/performance was displayed, the CPU usage history showed 100% and flatlined with only 25% of memory used. Following discussion with MapInfo's help line, we were advised that there appeared to be conflict between MapInfo and NVIDIA and one solution was to reduce hardware acceleration to lower settings until we could work with MapInfo and NVIDIA without conflict. FAILED. I am therefore wondering whether anyone has experienced a similar conflict between NVIDIA and MAPINFO since it was mentioned in the MapInfo-L archives circa 2003 and if so, has anyone seen or heard of a remedy ? I am led to believe we have the latest NVIDIA software.
