What kind of video card are you running?

 

You can go into the Mastercam config on the screen branch and disable Hardware acceleration as well.

"Full hardware acceleration display setting is recommended" this is what the recommendation is

Full acceleration is handled by the latest NVIDIA drivers, if you have a ATi card I believe you can still knock it down.

 

If you are running an ATi or on-board graphics card, then set the hardware acceleration in config of Mastercam to off.

what does dissabling the hardware accleration accomplish? just curious

It dials back the capabilities of the card in times when the card doesn't handle the processing either well or properly.

turns off all the good stuff you paid big $$ for ..

IMO it is an absolute last resort for when trouble shooting video problems

Sounds to me that the solution he is quoting is recommending full hardware acceleration rather than disabling it like we're used to doing when graphical problems arise.

 

Some helpful information would be:

• What operating system are you running?
• What graphics card do you have?

There is a Hardware Acceleration slider within Windows that controls how the graphical processing requests are handled - - all by the graphics card (provided it can support everything) or some/all by the processor (software mode). As JParis said, there is an override setting in Mastercam that allows you to disable hardware acceleration completely, but this is not recommended unless it IS causing the issue and dialling it back a bit doesn't resolve it. You want your graphics card doing as much work as it can as this not only frees up your processor for other things but the graphics card is usually much more efficient for accelerating graphical UIs (obviously).

 

Maybe you can tell us what type of issues you are having with X5.
