Recommended Posts

Hello all, first time poster in need of assistance.

 

i'm hoping you guys might be able to help an issue i have.

 

I've recently had Win7 Enterprise installed on my machine with AutoCAD LT 2010.

 

I've a problem which occures when i try to resize any dialogue box. Layers, Xrefs etc.

 

i select either corner (when the arrow appears) to enlarge the size and my machine freezes. Cannot enter into anything and have to hard reset.

 

i've downloaded update 2 for LT and in the process of trying the latest Nvidia drivers for my graphics card.

 

System Spec:

Dell T3400

Intel E6750

4gb Ram

Win7 32bit Enterprise

Nvidia Quadro FX 1700

 

my IT dept are unsure what the issue could be so i'm hoping someone here might be able to help.

 

cheers

You have no problems with any other programs loaded on this computer? Then perhaps it's just a bad install. You could try the Repair option. Do not uninstall and reinstall before trying Repair.

Repair AutoCAD

 

Click on the Windows Start button.

 

Open the Control Panel.

 

Select Add or Remove Programs.

 

Windows will list all programs loaded.

 

Scroll down the list until you find your version of AutoCAD.

 

Click on the Change/Remove button.

 

Setup initialization begins.

 

At the next screen you should be presented with three options:

 

-Add or Remove Features

-Repair or Reinstall

-Uninstall

 

Select the Repair or Reinstall option and follow the on-screen prompts. Have your installation media (CD or DVD) nearby in case you are prompted to insert it.

it went through pretty quickly.

 

now having issues with Nvidia drivers. my Quadro FX isn't being recognised by any driver instalations.

 

it just loops round saying "new device found, restart to instal drivers".

 

i was on driver package 190.38 before so trying to get that back and installed once IT can find the driver on their system. :ouch:

IT believed it was a driver issue and not a cad issue.

 

now the Nvidia drivers wont recognise my graphics card. Even the latest 259 set of drivers!.
