Message: <blockquote data-quote="rseiler" data-source="post: 78156" data-attributes="member: 4575">I noticed a serious issue with 2669 and Intel HD 3000, where after I'd run something like a Flash-based game or a game requiring OpenGL, Win8 would display what I can only describe as "artifacting," where parts of the screen, mostly text, would distort and tear. Rebooting was the only way out of it. I later tried 2656, and it showed the same problem.I wonder if this issue might have something to do with a new item called something very similar to "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opencl">Intel OpenCL</a>," which appears in Win8's Uninstall Programs section. This is not something that's installed with 2622, so it's most likely from 2669 (though 2656 might also have it). I don't know if it caused the above problems, since I explicitly uninstalled OpenCL before going back to an earlier build that I knew worked. Just uninstalling the driver does not remove OpenCL. I don't really want to experiment more to see if OpenCL is part of the problem, or whether it was simply the driver itslelf, since what I have now is working and it's not exactly easy to get here. Unless something further breaks, I'll wait until Intel finally releases a full-featured Win8 driver to upgrade. But I thought I'd mention the subtle OpenCL in case its mere presence is a problem.</blockquote>
