Hi there,  
I loaded the pvNVIDIAIndeX plugin from the Plugin Manager and created a waveform source to test it and it worked.  
However when I load my own Unstructured Grid Data and choose Nvidia IndeX display option, everything just disappears. Interestingly, the waveform source also stop displaying suddenly and if I click hide and then show on the waveform source, the whole program crashes.  
The error in the windows log looks like this: would really appreciate any help!  
Here’s a link to a video capture of the error in action: [https://youtu.be/6vzSABiFAdg](https://youtu.be/6vzSABiFAdg)  
Cheers
