why software OpenGL?!

Solidworks keeps turning to software OpenGL on and greyed-out, so i cant
turn it off. The only temporary and ridiculous solution is to update again
the ForceWare driver, which results that SW allows on first startup turning
the software OpenGL off, but after exiting solidworks and reentering the
problem appears again. (software OpenGL is again on and greyed-out).
All this happens despite that i have a certified GC and GC Driver
combination according to SW corporation (Quadro FX1500 with Nvidia ForceWare
Driver 84.26).

My specs are: SW 2007 x64 sp2.1 on Windows XP x64 SP1 with 2GB RAM, AMD
Athlon X2 4600.
Is this problem 2007 x64 sp2.1 related? or do i need to tweak some settings
on the Control panel>Display>Settings>Advanced>Quadro FX1500>Performance &
Quality Settings?

I would be glad to get any insight, as SW is driving me nuts with software
OpenGL: when i do viewport related operations like zoom in/out, pan and
rotate the screen refreshes and redraws only partialy in a tiny square
inside the large viewport!! forcing me to move the cursor over the unredrawd
regions in order to reveal the image behind them!!

Thanks,
Gil

 

With software OpenGL, you get used to the performance under Vista ;-)
I have almost the same config as you have, 2007 SP 2.1 on AMD X2 too
and no problem.
Just thinking : are you sure you installed the 64-bit version of
NVidia drivers ?

yep. i've installed the 84.26 x64 version one from Nvidia
