Wiby key for AC9 and MacbookPro

Anonymous — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 02:59:30 GMT

I have a problem with my MacbookPro. The desktop after a while stops showing downloads, printed things to itm screen captures and inserted CD’s . I could re-launche the finder and then all it is shown.

Now, I have tried any possible remedy: reinstalled the system after zeroing out all data, removed ½ of memory and then the other 1.w, run apple hardware test for 100 loops. I have suffered for a month with countless conversations with Apple but no solution. Today I visited a genius and forget home my Wibu key. Miracle the issue disappeared.

I am running AC9 only and now I have a close certitude that the Wibu key wersion 9 may be incompatible with MacbookPro.

Did you uninstall the WIBU that is delivered with 9 and install the updated WIBU from here:

http://www.archicadwiki.com/TechNotes/Running_both_AC_10_and_AC_9_on_Intel_based_Macintosh?highlight=%28TechNotes/%29%7C%28MacTel%29

This WIBU driver for Intel Mac supports both 9 and 10 (just not at the same time). Have had no problems at all on the MacBook Pro that I installed it, 9 and 10 (and much more) on.

Regards,
Karl

PS Before you say it --- yes, I agree - I have no idea how Graphisoft expects us to find MacTel resources when they are scattered all over the place on different web sites with no central location / index.

Tank you Karl for the valuable advise,

I installed firs the 5.10b. AC9 refused to work with it. Then I called David Tauer of GS he guided me to the older 5.01 driver. After installing the desktop problem appears to be gone. I hope this was it. Also visibly the whole interface is snappier

I have spent on this issue at least 60 hours.
