Usually when I mask something that I hope is a temporary thing, I remove or comment out the mask after the update is done. That way it pops back up on the next upgrade. I sometimes put a note with it as well. My memory isn't that great. By next week, I'll be like 'egl what'??? :/ That note reminds me. Gives my old brain a clue. LOL It may be a while before those old drivers get updated. Those old cards don't get much attention. Thanks for the info tho. It helps. Dale :-) :-)
