System Information
Windows 8.1, nVidia GT740

Blender Version
Broken: 2.77a
Worked: 2.76

Short description of error
Smoke (both quick effect or "standard") - Immediate Crash on effect selection

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
ANY file, even the simplest startup with a default Cube.
1 - Select the cube
2 - Object / Quick Effects / Smoke

BOOM! crash

By the way, since I'm here (should I open another BugReport, for this one?)...

What's the sense in writing all those stupid empty (!!) files called OGLdpf.log?!
I find it really useless. And they take space on my hard disk (they allocate at least one full cluster size).

Not only, they also generate an unnecessary disk write, compromising my defragmentation,
since I always delete them manually.

So... WHY does Blender write them?!
What's their purpose, other than breaking my nerves?
Since they are ALWAYS EMPTY, no info is written in them... I really hate them.

Does the crash happen with the latest builds from builder.blender.org?

Ad for the OGLdpf.log -- it's not a blender fault, see discussions in the internet, such as https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/20sljo/oglpdflog/

MY FAULT, sorry!
THIS TIME is really NOT A BUG - Can you remove it for me?

Note on why that happened.

After updating the nVidia drivers (you normally think it's a good thing to kee them up to date), the Windoes settings were reset to their default, NON OPTIMIZED configuratio.

Re-setting them properly in the nVidia Control Panel solved the issue.

Not sure WHY these settings affected the 3D ViewPort, though.

Again, THIS TIME (steressed: THIS TIME) it's REALLY NOT A BUG.

Thank you

No worries! Let us know if you'll run into real bug :)

I often do...

But I always receive "Not - a bug. Closed", "It's a feature. Closed", "Can't reproduce, Closed"... :(
Even on REAL BUGS

So frustrating.
