Display Problems

[n_tydingco]

I'm getting a ton of speckled lines across the screen when I am trying to do anything that involves using the mouse pointer and the systems auto-highlight (e.g. dynamic pan, analyze, etc.).

 

It looks like everytime the auto-highlight locks on to an entity, a line of dots appears across the screen where the entity was highlighted.

 

Our (my) system specs are:

 

P2 500

512 mb RAM (PC 133)

3D Labs Oxygen VX1 32mb(?)

Win NT 4.0

 

Other than, "get a new computer...," anyone have any ideas on this? (I have a screenshot but it's a large .bmp -- no apps to convert to web friendly format on this workstation.)

 

Thanks.

not trying to be rude here but this is where it starts

I know, I had an 800mgz with the 3d labs card and NT. I gave up. it was ok with V8 but with V9 the trouble started

Mayday, I would love to upgrade the workstation I use to the latest holy s#!t CPU/hardware/etc. But that isn't going to happen any time soon.

 

Anyway, I went in to check my RAM allocations and found that I haven't changed it since we upgraded to V9 (last month.) I increased the memory allocations to 32 mb each (from 16) for toolpath and database and the problem seems to be resolved.

Double both of them or tripple them ,IMHO

 

As a last resort you can always turn off Opengl

from Screen->config and dounrate your hardware acceleration in card driver .

BTW NT4 sevice pack (which one do you have )

There were graphic issues in early NT service packs .

glad to hear it works Norbert. I had all kinds of trouble. wound up cheaper in the long run to upgrade for me.

Iskander, doubling seems to work well right now. I still like to have some memory leftover for other apps.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys
