UG Graphics corrupting & crashing

UG Graphics corrupting & crashing

UG Graphics corrupting & crashing

(OP)
I've been having a problems with NX 2.0.5.2. In some sessions when I am switching in and out of drafting/modeling the display in UG become corrupted. Dialog boxes are blanked out and error messages are unreadable, etc. Some times I'm able to save and restart UG, other times, (like 5 min ago) it just crashes to the desktop resulting in the loss of work :(
The other problem I have is I get a general windows error saying that the graphics driver has stopped responding. This seems to occur at random and I have to do a hard reboot, also resulting in a loss of work. I am using the latest certified drivers UG provided on their site for the ATI Fire GL 8800. Also I am using WinXP with SP2. Any suggestions? UGS has not been able to give me an answer.
Thanks.

RE: UG Graphics corrupting & crashing

Try first with the latest driver for the Fire GL, not latest certified but latest. If that doesn´t work start windows task manager and let it just run and when problems occur check the processes how much ram it uses and total ram usage. If it´s the same region of ram usage when dropping use ram check software to secure that the ram memory is OK.

Last thing I think a total reinstallation

Tried that a while back, used memtest 86 and the latest driver from ATI made UG very slow and choppy.

RE: UG Graphics corrupting & crashing

Then I would recommend reinstallation of the workstation. I´ve came across something similary, then it was problems in the registrary and IT dept. couldn´t fix it so they reinstalled it.

RE: UG Graphics corrupting & crashing

We had a similar if not the same problem a while ago, again with NX2 and windows XP SP2. The solution posted on cadpo.com was to change the display properties/themes from windows XP to Windows classic on your desktop. this changes all the buttons to the simple grey ones.

since then we havnt seen the problem again
