Intel doesn't have the latest drivers compatible with my laptop, and Toshiba has no new drivers. Although the problem went away briefly after I installed on my deskop and copied the entire file over to the laptop to replace any missing files. Although its back now, with a debug file as follows. Should I just play it on my desktop instead?
