Thanks for the suggestions so far. pbacot: I have used that method before. It's fine for simple objects, but gets more difficult for geometry that is more complex or curved in 2 directions. I'm just hoping to find a way that doesn't require as many steps. Just getting lazy in my old age. Thanks again.

Thanks. Nice idea to post this!

why not just copy and paste into the component temporarily?

Hey, MartinK, I have your exact laptop and love it! I bought it when it first came out (at a significantly higher price), and the young salesdudes were drooling at the mouth as they watched me walk out with what they lusted after. Little did they know that I needed a "gaming computer" to keep up with all my graphic needs! Although I'm in love with it, it wouldn't be fair to omit telling you that sometimes it does crash, but then, I have no idea who or what is to blame for that. Now a couple of keys are also sticking a bit -- not staying down and activated, more like they're harder to press. I'm sure I can find a way to remove the keyboard and clean everything out to alleviate that issue. Other than that, no problems whatever! Love having all this computing power, large screen, etc. Awesome choice! Good luck with yours! Gigi
