Slow performance

1-NYIAQ0 Nov 6, 2009 4:33 PM

The "use software OpenGL" box is ticked but the whole thing is greyed out. How do I get that back do I can clear that box?

Oh by the way I am a supper NEW user and just fumbling my way around.

What video card do you have? not all video cards are capable of running Hardware OpenGL.

  I have a Quadro FX 1400 with a certified driver. I followed Wayne's sugestion and turned it off. I'll see if that speeds things up a little. I'll also read other posts.
  Thanks.

Mark, there are already a number of posts on this subject. Just do a search on the forum and I'm sure you'll find your answer.

I'll give you the quick version. If SW doesn't like your video setup, it turns on the software OGL and does its own video. To change that setting, start SW and with no documents open, look at that box. If it's grayed out with nothing open, SW doesn't like your setup. Run SW Rx to see what it tells you.
