Blinking Problem on Windows 7. Please Help need it urgently!

Anonymous — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 00:11:08 GMT

Hello,

I have had working on Archicad 10 on Windows XP and it all went good now I recently get the Windows 7 and when I install and open the Archicad 10 on 3D screen it's blinking all the time. Everything else is working good except the 3D view is blinking, when I hold the shhift + scroll it's good but when I let it it blinks all the time. I have Windows 7 32 bit. and a Graphic Card Gigabyte 250 GT nVidia chipset.

Can anyone tell me what is the problem, how can I solve it and am I gonna have the same problem if I get the Archicad 11?

Please help me as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance,
Mario

Try a couple of things:

1. Upgrade your graphics card drivers to the latest version.
2. Run ArchiCAD in XP compatibility mode.
3. Turn off hardware acceleration for the 3D Window.

You should know that AC12 came out in 2006 where there was no Windows 7, not even Vista. So there can be compatibility issues.
The first version that could be checked and created to be Windows 7 compatible is ArchiCAD 13.

Mario,

I run Windows 7 and have not loaded in any AC earlier than verson 12. I have had no problems with either 12 or 13 so far. The problem with XP compatibility mode is I don't believe you can access all the RAM which may be a problem.

Cheers,

No, running a 32 bit program (AC 12) in XP Compat mode has no affect on the amount of RAM that can be accessed by it AFAIK.
