Real View

[CajunCAD]

I have a new workstation with a nVidia Quadro FX500 graphics card which is supposed to support RealView. How do I enable this?

The FAQ I'm talking about is faq559-507 see below:

Alternative to try before reinstalling


If you have exhausted all other possibilities of your problem try doing this, before reinstalling.

IMPORTANT You have to be comfortable to change data in the registry, because you can hose your entire computer if you change the wrong item.

1) Close SW
2) Click Start\Run and type Regedit
3) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Solidworks
4) RMB the Solidworks directory and click rename.
5) Rename it with your Initials or something.
6) Restart SW, you will have to accept the license agreement and reset your toolbars and tools options. Before you do that, see if that fixes any problems you are encountering.
7) If so, Close SW, then go back to your Registry and delete the Solidworks directory you renamed. (if you push f5 (refresh) you will see a new Solidworks directory appear).
8) If not and you want to keep your old settings. Then Close SW, (push f5) delete the newly created
Solidworks directory, and rename the other directory (that has your initials in it) back to Solidworks.

If this doesn't work, your last alternative maybe to Reinstall SW.

Explanation:
All this really does is, it resets all your settings to default. It is essentially like reinstalling, without actually reinstalling.

I have found this work for some people in the last few weeks. Most people are a lot happier to change their settings back, then to reinstall SW, because of the down time it takes to reinstall.

That's what I thought the FAQ explained. It was my intention to try this but I was forced into the un-install / re-install this morning when my upgrade to SP1 failed.

We experienced a similiar problem last week. It turned out to be something gone bad in the personal profile. I could logon my coworks computer and RealView would work. The computer guys fixed the problem by deleting his profile and creating a new one. I hope this helps.
