A bit more information about the problem we were having. I believe it was caused by an Intel update in early July (or June), which was included in a Windows 10 update. After the OS update, Energy3D stopped working properly. Intel probably became aware of this bug they created as many people must have complained about it. So they released another update on July 11 that righted the wrong. Now, for the problem to go away for everyone, we probably have to wait for the Intel update to be included in a future Windows 10 update.

Not all driver updates are good!

PS: In order to remind the user of this problem, I added a check in Energy3D to catch this particular exception and then prompt the user to update the driver. I suppose other people may want to do the same thing as we don't know for how long people have to wait for the Intel update to be delivered.
