Graphics Driver Issue

Graphics Driver Issue

Graphics Driver Issue

(OP)
Windows 7 64bit SP1 - NX 7.5.2.5 MP3 Rev G
HP xw4600 - Nvidia FX580 w/ v19178_sp47158 drivers

We recently upgraded my workstation from XP-32bit, to Win 7-64bit (clean install). After I installed the certified driver from UGS the boot time for the workstation has went from 40 seconds to 8-10 minutes. Other things seem to run or load slowly as well, when we disabled the driver everything work fine except for UG of course. Any suggestions?

That was my next option. I only call them for issues I can get easily resolved here. I did end up calling them and was advised to use the latest driver from nvidia. Even though GTAC is the best customer support I ever experienced, I do like the convenience of these forums.

That's the one I installed.

Sorry for the confusion but it was the latest driver from nvidia that resolved my problem, the "certified" driver was the problem.

RE: Graphics Driver Issue

So the first link from the nvidia website worked and the one from siemens didn't?

Best regards,

Sort of. I just noticed in drafting that when I select my text or dimensions, they do not always highlight ever though it says selected in the cue. This install seems real buggy.
