If it is not working than this is certainly an annoying issue - but: If turned off will you get your job done? If yes, than it does not meet MY definition of "desktop-related task". (I prefer a clean shutdown anyway as this fits my workspace best. YMMV, of course.) And 'video driver issues' on a MB Pro - we're talking 'nVidia' here, right? That is a sad issue of its own kind ... :-( STEFAN
