I Submitted to tech support earlier but no answer, so trying here as well
HP Pavilion ZD7000 laptop
XP pro SP2 and up to date
3.2 GHz P4 HT, 2 GB Ram
Nvidia GeGorce Go 5700 Fx Driver Ver. 5.4.0.5 (I think this is the latest ver as the HP update site says all is current. The Nvidia site seems to indicate that there could be a newer version but it doesn't seem to be compatible)
ArchiCAD 10 with latest (9/1/06) Update
ArchiCAD 9 still installed
Program regularly crashes under multiple actions, but at least one common thread is some change in what is being displayed in the work environment. Typical scenarios
1. Opening the Favorites Palettes and docking it beneath the Navigator. Usually happens with a file open, but can happen just after start up.
2. Opening one of the interactive training files. (I have burned these to DVD and use them on the desktops at school with no problem...so probably not bad files??). This doesn't always happen, but is fairly regular.
3. Opening one of the pre-set views in the training guide file. Most recently with section 4.9. I then tried to reopen the file after starting the program, and the program crashes.
Unfortunatley, I'm new to AC, so I don't have other files to test this with asides from the training files. Nevertheless I'm getting very wary of using AC on at least this computer.
I know there has been some craziness (complete system crash) with this computer model and Photoshop, but that seems to be related to mismatched RAM card size and possibly Hyperthreading. I know AC doesn't rely on HT, and my cards match, so any thoughts??? Something about this video card??
