Assuming that the previous problems are fixed, is it safe to re-enable hyperthreading on a system that was installed with it turned off?HT is run-time detected and uses the same kernel. You shouldn't have any issues.Rahul
As for the safety issue, you were probably hitting a graphics driver bug (Nvidia, perhaps) that has long since been fixed. Lots of people are using HT with LCD monitors, even with proprietary video drivers, without problems.
