textures

Hi together,
I am new to Solidworks and just tried the Student Design Kit.
But I can't get the textures working.
Each time I try to assign a texture to my part or a surface on a part,
the texture is not displayed on my part.
Do I miss the point?
Thanks in adavance,
Klaus

 

There is a minimum requirement for your video card, which may be the
issue.

 

Well, it is quite an old one (GeForce 2) but I don't think that this is
the cause of the problem. It works well with other CAD programms and on
the SolidWorks homepage it says that GeForce2 passed the hardware test
(only limitation: Limited number of accelerated windows).

That's not a Real View capable card, and real view overrides textures.
If you installed real view and are trying to use it, there may be
issues. If you installed real view, you might try to turn it off.
Materials still override textures, even without real view.

 

Yes, I know and Real View is not active in my installation.
But it should be possible to display textures without Real View, or not?

Currently there are no materials attached to the part.
