What graphics card? _3dCONFIG and check your settings in AutoCAD. See if the card is supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Tillman Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Last year I built myself a killer, bad-ass machine. For around $1,500 I built a Quad Core i7 with 12 GB RAM and a NVIDIA Quadro FX 380 graphics card with a 1 TB hard drive. It does the job and I've tested it with other OS'es like BSD and Linux. I eventually settled with Window 7 x64 and AutoCAD 2011 x64. It gives me great results, I know it crashed once with AutoCAD running but that's about it. Rendering 3D scenes is quick yet still not as quick as I thought it would be. Overall, I'm happy with this box and Windows 7 x64 has been very stable and reliable. One problem has been that when Windows 7 goes into sleep mode when I leave the machine alone the sound card is disabled and I have to reboot in order to get the sound working again.

CADken Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Unfortunately I don't write the checks that buy the equipment around here - I just work here So I am forced to make due with what I have, and in this particular instance its a laptop. *Just a note, I have to be mobile and to be able to work from many locations as my job involves me to travel to many sites for inspections, etc. So I will be faced with the laptop issue perpetually. I turned off the Aero theme for Windows 7 and shut off Hardware Acceleration and that seems to have helped tremendously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANIEL Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 windows 7 is not fully compatiable with older versions of autocad, it doesnt load any of your installed printers except for your default printer, at least 2007 and older ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem running Excel 2003, I am always going to other computers for user errors on AutoCAD 2005 but with no problems attributable to Windows 7. I have more issues running AutoCAD 2011 on Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 here's my thread Like I stated in that thread, it is just a funky Windows 7. The engineer here was losing the printers from Windows 7, he uses Excel 2007 and has the same problems. No Idea the solution but he hasn't had print troubles in awhile, I am thinking IT finally reinstalled Win 7, but not sure, I just know he hasn't bothered me in a while.
