ProE 2001 : Screen refresh problems when zoom/pan/spin

Discussion in 'Pro/Engineer & Creo Elements/Pro' started by Prem Rachakonda, Feb 16, 2004.

  1. Hi,
    I have a Dell M782P monitor and NVIDIA GEFORCE4 MX 420 display
    driver. Earlier I had no problems. After I updated the computer with
    NVIDIA available on Windows Update, I am having these problems.

    1. After panning and zooming for a couple of times, one particular
    view seems to always appear whenever I change the view. Say, I have a
    default view, and then I go for the front view (the simplest possible
    to explain). When I go to this Front view, the default view appears.
    This occurs during the time between clicking the icon and the
    appearance of the next view.

    2. Similarly, when I rotate, until I release the mouse button, one
    particular view (random) will appear.

    3. I tried to change the graphics environment from the OPTIONS, from
    OPENGL to WIN32_GDI. Nothing happened.

    4.When I change the background system colors from blended, to black on
    white, the appearance of the random view stops, but I can't see the
    model either. It just goes blank.

    5. I uninstalled the latest NVIDIA drivers and tried. No change in the
    behavior.

    Has someone faced the same problem. If so, would you please let me
    know the fix.


    Thanks,
    Prem.

    Prem,

    I would go to the PTC site and check out the hardware compatibility
    list. Note the exact driver they tested, and then dig through the
    NVidia site for it. Set the card to VGA, reboot and then manually
    point to the certified driver, and make it overwrite 'newer' files.

    Regards

  3. Pete,
    Thanks for the reply. I checked their website. They have little
    info. about the video card I have. I am not sure whom to contact. I
    had good performance before I installed these NVIDIA drivers which I
    have updated it from Windows-update. Uninstalling doesn't help.

    Thanks,
    Prem.

  4. This was discussed recently in another Pro/E discussion area and it was
    determined for best results you needed to go way back to Nvida 45.33
    drivers. I had these same problems when I.S. rebuilt several of our
    workstations. But grabbing these drivers solved our issues. Hope this
    helps you to...
