NX4 problems in windows 7 x64
NX4 problems in windows 7 x64
(OP)
Hello, I NX4 version does not work well on Windows 7 x64, when I pass the mouse over a figure, all surfaces and takes a long time to finish select are selected, this happens to me with the graphics drivers that puts Windows default .
If I upgrade the graphics drivers to the latest version, it does not, but then when I throw a reproduction machining draws slowly moves.
We have tested three graphs:
Integrated intel 4600
Nvidia 8400GS
Nvidia 8800GT
With all three have the same problems.
Does anyone know how to solve these problems?, Windows XP so far we had no problems.
Thank you very much.

Thank you.

They must be paired or you get problems.
I doubt Windows 7-32 will help as it is also not certified for NX4.
Your best solution is to build a xp-32 box.

There is NO solution for Windows 7 that will be satisfactory.
Graphics drivers may work somtimes, but I've never seen them fix the problem permanently, issues always arise.
Also your graphics cards are gaming not workstation cards and the Intel HD is the worst possible graphics chip to use with NX.
Your only option is to use Windows XP as that's what NX4 is designed for, or update to a version of NX designed for Windows 7.

with a NVIDIA Quadro 2000
I works fine No graphics issues.
Although I only use it for some legacy files that we will be moving to NX7.5 in the future

I'd highly suggest a graphics card change to at least the lowest entry level "pro" card (probably NVIDIA being your best bet). i hate suggesting this (because i loathe the whole fake/forced "pro-cards-cost-more-then-they-should-coz-oh-its-the-drivers-bro BS!) but in your case its probably a good thing to try to alleviate your issue. I have a Quadro 4000 and i still get issues with "fully qualified" software with these oh-so-pro-expensive-and-qualified-drivers-and-hardware. :P

"upgrade your version of NX". Like as if it was a free download... come on guys, i expected a more honorable response from you guys! Not everyone has an unlimited pit of money to spend on a hope for a bug fix. It's not just another file copy operation=sale for some of us! And more obviously... often its not even our choice (because you know we would if we had the actual chance). :P

Try any Quadro level card, not a GeForce one.

Try any Quadro card BUT stay away from the Quadro NVS cards!
- The NVS cards are not for 3D.

CAD programs are not like Office were you can upgrade the OS and keep using an older application. The application is designed with certain OS requirements.
NX4 needs to be installed on WinXP-32 on a computer with a Nvidia Quadro graphics card. IF you have the 64-bit version of NX4, then XP-64 could be used.
You still haven't answered WHY you cannot run a newer version of NX?

I think we know the answer... ;) Btw, I felt bad having been on NX6 till end of last year. Now on 8.5, it's way cool!
