Realview not working on Quadro 550 SW 2004

Realview not working on Quadro 550 SW 2004

Realview not working on Quadro 550 SW 2004

(OP)
I am running a new C2D 6600 with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 550 card and Solidworks 2004 SP2.1, and am unable to turn on Realview graphics. I am using the 84.26 drivers, which are the latest supported ones for 2005 (the SW website doesn't list the supported 2004 drivers).

Things I have tried:
Tools>Option>Performance>Use Software OpenGL is unchecked (always)
Shaders folder is present with presumably all files
Successfully turned on RealView in 2006 installed on the same machine.
Tried Part / Assemblies with textures / materials / colors applied
Edited material >Visual Properties - RealView is greyed out.
Double checked the install to make sure RealView was selected.
Did a repair on the installation.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. We did try the latest ones; I guess next we'll try the oldest certified ones.
