    I tried opening up some 1080p video from my digital camera in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 today and do some very simple editing.

    The first problem is that when I play the preview, it's very choppy. My 2000M says it's kicking in and being loaded. This computer can play 1080p flawlessly, but why not within the program?

    Next, my mouse stopped moving a couple times whenever I would click something, even something like File or Edit.

    Last but definitely not least, it crashes every time after a short period of time and gives me: "The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close.

    Please visit Support for help. Error code 8."

    Any help?

    Have you tried setting the system to discrete only in BIOS?

    Hi everyone

    I posted on lenovo forums but got no response so I'm coming over here to check with you guys.

    Does anyone know if my W520/all W520s are compatible with the FHD screen for W520 being sold on eBay, specifically the AUO B156HW01 V4.

    My model/machine code is 4284-A99, currently running the most basic HD screen, 1366x768.

    If compatible, are there any issues, eg. Having to replace the cables / different mount or frame holding the LCD in the bezel?

    I did do a search but haven't found anything conclusive, nor my specific machine code in the FHD LCD screen FRU replacement from the manual.

    Also, does anyone have a link to a tested 3rd party ultrabay for 2nd HDD? The original lenovo ultrabay offered locally is kind of pricey at $100+, but I'll get that if there are no other alternatives.

    Thanks!

    Use Sony Vegas. It actually works as advertised.
