REALVIEW GRAPHICS PROBLEM
REALVIEW GRAPHICS PROBLEM
(OP)
Hi, I just bought a Dell M70 Laptop with the Nvidia Quadro FX 1400 graphics card. I am using Solidworks 2004 sp5.0. I can not get Realview Graphics to work. I have searched throughout this forum and other places for guidance, butI just can't get it to work. I tried installing the drivers on Nvidia's site. I am not sure if those drivers will work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
Brandon

Did you disable ALL anti-virus & registry "tea-timer" services before installing SW04 & SPs?

Also, you might try toggling the various card settings and testing the results--hardware acceleration, Open GL, whatever--at least until you get a better response. Try contacting your VAR and see if they know of a patch/trick/setting.

You should uninstall the currently installed driver before trying to install an older driver. The 6771 driver may well be OK for SW ... it just hasn't been tested &/or certified yet.
The nVidia cards have application specific settings, which can be found by RMB the nVidia icon in the System Tray (bottom RH corner of the screen). Make sure that SolidWorks is selected.

Are you checking the setting with no files open at the time?
Is it darkened with or without a checkmark in it?

To fix do a reinstall and make sure you opt for realview graphics.
I ran into this using the Admin Director image with SW. It does not allow the install of the shaders directory. I had to do a regular install, copy the shaders folder to the network and write a batch file to copy it to everyones SW install directory.

I also came up with that not-installed problem because I use an administrative image. But I was able to fix it and at this moment my image does install real-view on the machines. To fix this you have to edit the "ADDLOCAL=" line in the .ini-file. Add "RealViewGraphicsdisplay" to this line.
I think this will also fix your problem.
