Computer Will not display results

[mpt1908]

Hi,
I have not been able to display the results i obtain in a simulation study. I am useing Solidworks 2009 SP3 and have a ATI FireGL 5200 graphics card with 3GB of ram. This should be more then enough to display my results. I can successfully run the simulation and once the results are calculated the window where i see my assembly locks up. I can still use solid works it just seems unable to display my results for some reason. I can see extremly simple resuls ex. block that has a force on 1 end and is restrained on the other. I am just unable to see anything more complicated then that. I am currently trying to analyze an octogon with a block in the middle and the octogon is restrained on 1 side and the block in the middle has a force on it.
I think there is a problem with the graphics card but dont know for sure.
any help would be appriciated
Thanks

Is it possible to attach a screenshot of what you get? Sometimes if Deformed plot is set to automatic or the model has not been adequately restrained the result plot can go offscreen.

Other than that without more info I have no idea what might be wrong. Perhaps make sure that your video driver and direct x versions are current.
