[Paraview-developers] Windows 7 transparency appears too transparent (second posting)

Hi, 

I installed 5.1.0 and it crashes when I try to open one of the files that we built in 5.0.0; here is the crash error:

Kevin,

I suspect it's a driver issue. For some reason depth peeling is not
working (or ParaView is determining cannot work) on your Windows
machine.Can you try using ParaView 5.1.0?  The depth peeling code was
rewritten in 5.1.0 and I wonder if it fares any better.

cc-ing Dave Lonie who wrote the new depth peeling code.
