   Wonder no longer.  Nvidia may indeed be the issue.   I just installed Apoint   
   on my Win7/32 with Nvidia card:

   Nvidia GeForce 6100

   BTW.. Nvidia card was a problem with many of the linux flavours that I tried   
   on the now Win7/32 machine.  A Xfce desktop version worked the best with   
   little no tweaks.  But Manjaro worked right out of the box.   
      
   Meanwhile, as you can see, I rather like the aero theme in the Win7/32 box.
