    Set Priority on High in Windows Task Manager

    I have tried setting it to high priority a few times and have not noticed any tangible improvement on performance. Conversly, it rather seemed to CTD more often than usual which is why I leave it at normal these days. Running SW2001 on Win2k Professional btw. "Gimme dat stickwelder, will...

    Graphics card problem.

    I had the same problem with an ATI 9600Pro. Most bog-standard graphics cards, especially the ATI ones (with the exception of the 9000Pro) are not approved and/or certified by SW (check here http://www.solidworks.com/pages/services/VideoCardTesting.html ) and are known to have issues with SW (I...

    success with rivatuner!

    lylek, check the link Mitsu50 posted above and the links in this thread http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?SQID=87117&SPID=559&newpid=559&page=1 . In short, yes if you use Pre-45.xx Detonator drivers and yes it is worth it if you are running any 3D CAD program. It is a bit scary...

    success with rivatuner!

    I'm gald it worked out in the end for you. I too found that finding that elusive plain & clear tutorial on how-to-use-SoftQuadro-for-dummies was the hard bit [peace]. "Gimme dat stickwelder, will yer lad. No need to get all fancy wid'those modern drills." Apprenticeship Lesson 61

    Question about Softquadro

    Mitsu, I too had initially some probs with trying to prepare the drivers as described in the FAQ. Then I found out that was because it wouldn't work on the latest drivers just yet. After trawling through the forum on Unwinders site for a bit (crickey, message boards with some Russian thrown...

    Question about Softquadro

    I haven't heard any horror stories. Whats the worst that can happen? It doesn't work, you wasted a couple of hours trying to get it to work and you have to go back to the ordinary Detonator drivers...scary indeed. After all its not like you are doing some serious overclocking or other nasty...

    Question about Softquadro

    Well, you will have most likely have got it from the Guru3D website. They also have a forum specificaly for RivaTuner with a number of threads about modding Nvidia FX cards. Here is one to get you started...

    Convert from 2004 back to 2003

    With regard to the presence of 2 different versions of SW on a system, I tried that recently and it didn't work. I wanted to check SW2004 to see if its worthwhile upgrading the lot of us. So I installed it into a seperate partion on my HD. Yes, I could run SW2004 fine, but could I run our old...

    Does anyone know if (and where) there is a specific Cosmos/Works forum or user group on the net? Thanks. "Gimme dat stickwelder, will yer lad. No need to get all fancy wid'those modern drills." Apprenticeship Lesson 61

    SolidWorks weld for dummies?

    As an Aside, with the all-new-all-singing-and-dancing weldment feature can one actually do things like stich welds? In the model that is of course. Its after all a common enough occurence in bog-standard-metal-bashing engineering imho. As we are still on 2001 all our welding details will only...

    Radeon 9800 (or 9700) use in Solidworks

    We have been using SW on Radeon 9000Pro's without problems. On the other side when I upgraded at home to a Radeon 9600Pro I couldn't run SW no more. Same symptoms as described further up with empty workspace (although when moving cursor over model outlines will come up). Read somewhere on a...
