Graphics Driver Issue

[DieMan44]

Windows 7 64bit SP1 - NX 7.5.2.5 MP3 Rev G
HP xw4600 - Nvidia FX580 w/ v19178_sp47158 drivers

We recently upgraded my workstation from XP-32bit, to Win 7-64bit (clean install). After I installed the certified driver from UGS the boot time for the workstation has went from 40 seconds to 8-10 minutes. Other things seem to run or load slowly as well, when we disabled the driver everything work fine except for UG of course. Any suggestions?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

That was my next option. I only call them for issues I can get easily resolved here. I did end up calling them and was advised to use the latest driver from nvidia. Even though GTAC is the best customer support I ever experienced, I do like the convenience of these forums.

Try this driver.

That's the one I installed.

Ok, goto this website it's the GTAC certified driver for your card,

Sorry for the confusion but it was the latest driver from nvidia that resolved my problem, the "certified" driver was the problem.

 

[MickyV007]

So the first link from the nvidia website worked and the one from siemens didn't?

Sort of. I just noticed in drafting that when I select my text or dimensions, they do not always highlight ever though it says selected in the cue. This install seems real buggy.
