ATI Question
ATI Question
(OP)
My hard drive recently crashed and I have had to re-load my 2007 version of Solidworks. In doing so, the Use Software OpenGL button on my options menu is grayed out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my video card driver, checked and made sure it is the correct one (downloaded directly off the SW website) and still haven’t got the option. I am running a ATI V3100 video card. Can you please help get me up and running? Thanks.






RE: ATI Question
I am assuming that you have a Fire GL V3100 card.
You can not set the use open gl software option if you have a file open.
With the video card you have you should not need that box checked.

Did you by any chance install a newer driver first and then the certified driver? That corrupts the install. You should install the newer driver again, if SW fails uninstall the newer driver fully (there is a tool for this available from the ATI site), reboot and install the certified driver.
PS. Setting the driver to the solidworks application profile is BS in this case. Yes it is better to use the profile, yet it has nothing to do with being able to run hardware OpenGL.
BIOS settings should have no influence.
