I have had Windows 10 since last July and haven't had any problems. And a new driver was put in at that time. It wasn't until I installed SM 2.46 that I started having these problems. Could this still be the problem? After all the problems with 2.46, we then installed 2.35 as that would be an upgrade from 2.33 but just not completely up to 2.46. We thought by upgrading a little, I would still be able to have what I had with 2.33 but upgraded a little. Version 2.35 helped some, mostly with some of the email problems I was having, but not everything. The web sites, including this one were still transparent, with no color and just white boxes with text and some videos were still hard to get. We went from 2.35 to 2.33 again. Most everything is back to normal. I am noticing, though, on one web site that I go on every day, certain links to click on do not work where they did before when I was on 2.33. But then, it looks like that site upgraded, too. So, it might be a coincidence. I can still go into Preferences and try unchecking 'hardware acceleration'. Should I still check into a different driver?
