SW'04 craching updating drawings
(OP)
I’m running SW on Win 2k, P4 / D 850GB / RIMM 786MB / ATI Radeon 7200.
When open drawing it get into disorder. Trying to update - SW crash. Previous releases of SW were no problem.
Dos anyone has similar problem?
Is the problem video card - ATI Radeon 7200 64MB VIVA?

One thing you could try to rule out a video card is to turn your Software OpenGL on inseide of SW.
1) Open SW (Don't open a file)
2) Tools\Options\System Options\Performance
3) Check mark "Software OpenGL"
4) Then try out the process you were doing.
Results:
1) If it works without crashing it's your card.
2) If your option is greyed out make sure no files are open, if not then your card doesn't support OpenGL (in CAD) and the problem is your Card.
3) If it still crashes it might be a SW software issue - but it still doens't completely remove out a video card issue. Try the options below to make sure your install of SW is a clean and good install.
Those options are in the FAQ section. - See below.
