Configuration Nvidia

[Pastaga]

Hello,

 

I just installed the X2 MR2 SP1, on my new laptop.

 

Dell XPS M1330

Intel Centrino Duo

4 Giga RAM

Nvidia GForce 8300 GS

 

My problem is that I am obliged to disable hardware acceleration, if its does not follow, my screen is blank.

 

Is there any special configuration to be done in the panel Nvidia?

 

Thank you

disable on your hardware acceleration on a GEFORCE, I wonder why?

 

Have you downloaded and installed the very latest driver? Dump the Dell drivers.

.

What OS are you running?

Hello,

 

I have to disable the acceleration in configuring the software.

 

I Vista Premium, and apparently the drivers for my graphics card are specific to Dell

[Guest]

right click on the icon that launches mastercam, click on the Compatability tab, disable desktop composition

 

I doubt your drivers are specific,

john,

what does disable desktop composition do?

[Guest]

It disables Aero only when the program is launched, then enables it when the program is shut down.

 

Which if you want MCAM under Vista to run something like it is supposed to, you need to do.

I recently changed computers and am now running vista but have not had any problems, if I do what you suggest should I get better performance? I am running a new dell precision with quad xeons processors?

[Guest]

I can't believe you're not seeing graphics issue, every system I have seen running Vista and I have seen more than couple, suffers from the problem.

 

You'll get better graphics performance

 

Low end cards all the way up to high end Quadro cards, it's the lack of full OpenGL implementation. That's why GeForce 8800 and later cards on Vista are in some cases actually better than Quadro cards.

you are the guru and I will do so asap,will disabling visual themes help as well? and as always thank you for your help, i have learned more from the forum than any class i have taken for mastercam

Please its march

 

The pilots are developed with dell, I saw her on touslesdrivers.com, the site did not want to let me download the update, leaving me a message saying that I had to pass through the support dell.

DON'T try and update any laptop drivers through the card manufactures or other site. Laptop drivers are manufacturer specific.

[Guest]

Chris is correct.

 

I saw Dell and overlooked "laptop"

 

You do need to go through the manufacturer for laptop drivers.
