catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

(OP)
I use catia v5 r18 p3 and I have on my pc windows xp, can I have problem if I use windows vista?

RE: catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

Sure you can have problems and probably will have, vista is still not supported, last I checked at least

Are you sure? I will buy a new notebook with 4 giga of Ram without windows vista there is uselles.. do you know if exist a version of catia v5 that can work under vista?

RE: catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

Haven't heard any date when Catia will support Vista, this is a generel problem with Vista due to they only support DirectX and not OpenGL that business applications use.

It's not useless with 4gig ram, just see if you can get XP64 instead, Catia supports XP64 and there you will have an advantage with 4 gig ram.

Has anybody here heard about a date or Catia release to support Vista????

RE: catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

Heard something that the issue is the ICD that should be delivered from the graphic card manufacturers. If no OpenGL ICD is not installed then vista will render in software mode.

RE: catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

No problems running R18 on Vista, slightly more sluggish than on x64 but that's all

DaveSumm are you sure?

RE: catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

Yeah i'm sure, i run x64 at work and vista at home. Both machines are same spec. Only problem i have is having large assemblies open. Manupulation of the models is sluggish. I mostly design, assemble and 5 axis NC program for aerospace. Vista struggles with MSG also. CATIA doesn't crash any more or less on vista for me.

RE: catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

any news about running CATIA on Vista?

RE: catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

Why would you want to???
Everyone knows that Vista is MS biggest flop in their History!

RE: catia v5 r18 p3 - windows vista

Goes to show you never used WindowsME (kidding). Although ME WAS an extremely faulty OS. Nothing like good old windows 98 SP2. ;)
