Archicad - Vista

Anonymous — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 06:35:56 GMT

Hi,
I installed ArchiCad on vista and it did'nt seem to be any problem until I started draw some drawings with more graphics. Then the message "AN ERROR OCCURED IN THE FOLLOWING ADD ON: OpenGL " appears. I have tried to reinstall the application and it didn't wOrk. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
(I used the program on Windows XP before and it worked, its the educational version btw)

Thanks

If you use ArchiCad 10, you should use Windows XP. Vista and AC10 (and earlier versions) are not friendly to each other.

Is that really true? What i have read it seems to work out fine with AC10 and Vista. All other quit new applicaions works.

If AC10 is working on Vista, it's luck mixed with coincidence, kind of like AC9 on the MacIntel. It's not officially supported so you could have a lot of problems and no tech support to fix it

So long as you have new drivers for your video card, Archicad 10 is reasonably stable in Vista. Still a bit buggy though(particularly in 3D).
Most likely the error you are getting is caused by the lack of OpenGL support in the driver you are using. nVidia and ATI both have some sort of OpenGL emulation in their drivers now(nvidia's is a lot better than ATI's), so grabbing the latest one(from their website, not MS Update) should get you going.
