Dforce Doesn't Work Right

I got a new computer just when 4.11 came out. It is fantastic, renders literally takes seconds in some cases now. However, Dforce hair and clothes is giving me fits. When I clock SIMPULATE simple setups take a long time. Complicated ones will never finich. I tried letting one run overnight and it went from 51% to 58% after running 10 hours. Is this a 4.11 problem? New computer? There is a setting I am not aware of? Worked OK on the old computer with 4.10 though it was slow but slow was better than never finishing.

What is the OpenGL Provider (Advanced tab of Simulation Settings)?
That appears to be it, the option was not set for my video card. I will have to play with it to verify. I seem to keep finding the things not covered in the online tutorials.
Still having problems. The simulation runs and completes now but I still have instances where the clothes explode into a graphical mess. The text below is from the error log after the simulation ran:

There are various things that can cause an explosion - the cloth getting trapped between two intersecting body parts, for example, or unduly rapid changes in pose without increasing the number of sub frames in Simulation Settings.
