Does someone know what is the problem?

I suggest you contact your dealer/supplier, they should either be able to help you themselves, or will refer your problem to Graphisoft HQ. I have never come across the problem myself.

Also check that you are using the latest build of ArchiCAD, which you can do so from the help menu.

I have seen it.....because I had exactly the same thing
And my only fix was to repair WINDOWS
This totally fixed the problem
Basically insert your windows disc in and let it repair your installation
Once done it will all be there

Let me know how you go

I think this is a low memory thing.
How much RAM do you have? The Min is 1 gig.

David
I had 2 gig on my laptop.
...and plenty of Hard disk space
My thought was my Radeon 128 card but as soon as I repaired windows ...voila all was good - and has been ever since
I've also tried on 512mb machines and all is ok.
I never did get to the bottom of why

I had exactly the same thing on 8 of the computers in our office.
GS said that it was a memory issue, so we upgraded them all to 2 Gb of RAM, but this made no difference. I also tried a bunch of other stuff like new graphics drivers, updating Quicktime etc.. Then, as a wild stab in the dark, i installed SP2 on one of them and Archicad worked perfectly. I then went around and installed it on all the reast and they are now all working.

Might be worth a shot?

Run all the Windows updates, and all should be well.

There is a thread on the same problem by Eric Batte, and the fix was to update Windows. Keep your Autoupdate on ...

I had the same problem on my laptop, and it was easily soved by unloading the AC.lfc file, and loading the AC10 library folder.

as in http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=11544

lateral thinking gets you there every time

SP2 are some kinds of updates for windows, is that right?
But that file is over 250mb!

ah service pack 2.
That means you are running on a very ancient version of XP, I think.

have you tried my method?

Should be less painfull than installing window packs

I did not understand you. Where to find AC.lfc file, I am not shore about that, maybe I will lose the whole library?

File>Library and Objects>Library manager

you Remove the lfc file from the right collumn (Active Libraries) and add the archicad library folder from the left column.

If you have slow dialup connection, check the computer magazines; they usually enclose the CDs with Service Packs for Windows.

Proveri sa PC Pressom, oni sigurno imaju CD.

Pffff ...

Did you also run all the updates from Microsoft Update?

Updated video card drivers?

I'm not sure if when you update it actually repairs your windows.
That is what worked for me
I already had full SP2 installed.

As I already said....and I had the same issue
REPAIR windows and give it a try

Don't you just love Windows?!

You will most likely need to insert your XP install disk and select REPAIR from the install options.

Here is a good tutorial on doing that.

You need service pack 2. If you don't have it you should get it.
