Hi David,

Repair option was not available. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest physx driver from bvidia.

It then worked.

Thanks!

@Frenske MSK Hey, can you try the following steps?

Click "Start" --> "Control panel" --> Uninstall a program" locate PhysX in the list, --> "Right click PhysX" --> "Choose Repair"
