Previously you were unable to run this test, correct?

Thats right I could not run the test previously.

Good to hear then! How's your system running now, any crashes or abnormal errors?

no crashes so far -- but tomorrow, all day, I will have it on the second external monitor using the laptops vga connector. Lets see if it crashes then. Will know by end of day if it has worked. Thanks all your help.

My pleasure, if it crashes with the vga connector, it's probably more than likely related to that connector being the issue itself. If it does, I recommend trying it without the connector for awhile and seeing how things work out.

Best of luck :)
