    Hopefully this new patch and fixes don't lead to other bugs that just keep coming up from certain changes to the registry and windows. Slippery slope.

    I kinda feel sorry for people who just bought these new state of the art systems.

    I'm so glad I got my Z70Va before its EOL status, which is coming soon I believe.

    Cheers,
    Mike
