Nvidia Quatro FX3500 Problem Specs: Motherboard: Intel (Came with onboard video but I think I have it diabled.) Ram: 4gigs DDR 800, Brand: OZ Graphic Card: Nvidia Quatro FX3500 (current drivers: 8.4.2.6) Operating system: XP sp2 Solidworks: 2007, sp3.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Has anyone run into the problem of it taking forever to startup Solidworks? Take like a minute before SW will open and only does when the video card fan fires up. It's like there's some sort of a conflict between something and the video card. This problem is worse is other cad programs I run. Once it opens and I get a part loaded it's great! But if close SW and reopen it sits with the hour glass until the fan on the card starts up. Any help would be really appreciated. -Marty
My first thought is make sure that you have any on-board video disabled. They may be fighting. Second thought is go into the nVidia settings and set the custom OGL setting to SolidWorks. WT
Wayne, I have done both of your thoughts were my thoughts too. Any other thoughts I could try??? Thanks, Marty
It's our Novell network, some how it conflicts with Nvidia cards only. ATI cards run great. Thanks for the help !
