[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Opacity crashing ParaView and Value Range field for creating multiple slices is missing

[Mary Draney Blomme]

Alan,

Thanks for your reply. I'm out of the office until Friday, so I'll have to
wait to try upgrading my graphics drivers on the desktop until then. The
laptop problem, however, continues. I'm attaching a screen snapshot of what
I see. Am I missing something?

Thanks again,

- Mary
