RE: nx3 on xp64
the computers have
nvidia quadro fx 540 and
nvidia quadro fx350
i know that they are compatible as i have looked on the certification page but when i downloaded the driver from nvidia for the fx 540 it only works on xp 32 not on xp64 even though it states xp 64

Otherwise the question becomes how can one install for NX-5 or higher to run under 64Bit and NX-3/4 to run under 32Bit using the same graphics card at the same time?

RE: nx3 on xp64
Any luck getting the machine to support NX-5 at the same time?
And I thought that all the updates were cumulative so why run in 3.0.1.3 and then 3.0.2.3 one after the other? Theoretically one might as easily download the latest say 3.0.5.3 and run that in. I would willingly follow your advice granted that it works, and am not doubting you rather I just wished to put the query out there because my understanding was otherwise.
That you made no mention of Graphics Drivers is puzzling since for the most part they were reportedly the main problem.

RE: nx3 on xp64
well i got it to work using the latest update 3.0.5.3
i don't know why that worked since the error message did say something about graphics card.
i got rid of nx5 on the first machine i tried. now i have to try and install nx3 on a computer with nx5 already installed. i will see if i can get it to work.
