archicad 12 trial problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
hello everyone, havnt been here in a while..

anyways ive downloaded the archi 12 trial version to check out whats new from graphisoft. so far it looks good, the only problem is that ever so often the software freezes over, for several minutes at a time.
i got a very descent pc with a good graphic card (geforce 6800 ultra) so i dont think its my pc doing poorly.
so is it a compatability problem? or is it just because its a trial version?

hope anyone knows about this
tnx in advance..

I would first start checking the graphics drivers, dwonloading the latest version.
That card by the way is rather old, it is something like 3 generating ago. How much memory do you have in that graphics card?

Can you upgrade the trial version to the latest hotfix (2420) if it isn't already.

The latest hotfix is said to fix many of the freezing problems and so far for me that seems true.
