[Paraview] LIC plugin version 2 of PV 410 Windows 32 bits fails : unsupported NVIDIA card driver ?

[Richard Grenon]

Hello Burlen,

Problem solved. The NVIDIA driver 307.83 allows using the Version 2 LIC 
plugin pf PV 410 with my old GeForce 8700M GT card, and all my other old 
graphic software (including games!) seems to accept this new driver.

Thank you again.

Richard.
