Ok, I am gonna put my foot in it now...
Always be suspect when a tech support person from any software provider
suggests that the problem lay in outdated drivers.
Here is why I say this: Updating drivers is generally safe, but only generally.
A person not experienced with doing this sort of procedure can easily make a
mistake. Then after the update it can be difficult to determine if the problem
is with the software or the driver update.
I am not speaking directly to DS but in general when a new app is not working
correctly it is usually not the video driver.
That being said, I strongly advocate keeping all your system drivers up to
date. I personally use a program called Driver Detective which in many cases
makes the process as easy as it can be. The first time I ran it on my computer
it identified 28 outdated drivers.
My point is that I am very cautious trying to update system drivers when trying
to troubleshoot a new app.
