SW 2006 Open GL issue
SW 2006 Open GL issue
(OP)
Hi There,
I'm having a problem turning off the software open GL in SW 2006. I recently installed a Quadro FX 4500 and in am running a certified driver but still cannot turn off the Software open GL. In the tools pulldown under options, the "Use Software Open GL" box is check and greyed out, so I cannot uncheck it.
Any suggestions?
Thx
Mike

Oh yeah, SW is open with no files loaded and the Software Open GL box is still greyed out.
Could it be that a portion of the previous graphics card driver is still lingering somewhere and SW is latched onto it for some reason?

the nvidia drivers seem to hold on and not upgraded when you install a new driver.

I had to remove a lingering Asus display driver that was only being recognized by SW. Windows was only seeing the FX 4500 and it's driver but SW was latched to this Asus driver.
Anyway, uninstalled the conflicting driver and all is well :)
Thanks again

RE: SW 2006 Open GL issue
I was experience the same problem as above posts and had spent long time searching for a solution.
I recently upgraded from SP0 to SP3 and installed some apps. This is where the problem started.
After uninstalling Cosmos M, the "Use software OpenGL" option became editable.
