Helpful Hints for NVIDIA QuadroFX 500 GPU/SW2004/Win2000
(OP)
We have NVIDIA QuadroFX 500 GPU video cards on Win2000 workstations and NVIDIA's website shows a SolidWorks "Partner Certified" driver generically for all Quadro's as verion 43.51.

This driver does NOT work with the QuadroFX 500 GPU and SolidWorks 2004. Even though it does not appear that you should use the latest driver THAT is the only one that works! Version 52.14 works great.
Might save someone some hair pulling. :O)

One other note for you - You might try putting all these posts into an FAQ for everyone to read and to also have a easier way of finding this information. It gets hard once you put more posts on this forum to find just one subject. Especially if you forget the subject line... not that, that has happened to me before

Okay, I'll check into FAQ's but having been in this site for about 3 days it's still kinda new :O)

Back in SW2001/2002 days we had Fire GL's. All our SolidWorks systems are standardized and built in house. But certain systems had trails of ghost images in SW whenever you moved the cursor or dragged anything. Took a while to figure out but our hair grew back eventually.
