Runs perfectly fine on this Athlon 650.  (Ran it 20 times in a row
without problems).

Strange, it crashes on my system regardless of whether ambient_light is
defined, or not.

I finally got the original scene (and the reason for this thread) to work.
The VIA 4in1 driver pack fixed that up, and this 3.1g problem isn't really a
big deal, just a curious irritation.

Thanks for all the help, all. Thanks for the offer, Gail. :)

I'm sorry but this last reply is unacceptable. You can't come in here
crying about a major problem and then go off and fix it yourself.
What are we supposed to do now, Grim ?

Sheeeeeesh !

My Duron650 had lots of blacks screens this summer. I see the cpu is basically
closed in by the power suppy unit and the card slots. Also Via motherboard. I
haven't heard anything good about Via...
I now got AMN Refridgerator from a PCFormat cover disk, but it's almost winter
now here...
I'm also gonna check out this MBprobe...

I'm not, and no plans in that direction either.
