Hello people.
I have a problem and I hope you can help me out.
I want to install Archicad 9 on my computer. My system is Core 2 Quad 8600, 4 Gb of RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT.
I think that Archicad 9 is not compatible with this video card. When I begin to install it, appers a blue screen and the computer restarts.

Do you have any ideeas about this problem??

Computer sounds fine - more likely it is the OS running on it and/or perhaps an incompatability with the java installer.

Hello again.
I managed to resolve the problem. Graphisoft is very weird. It seams that AC 9 is not compatible with my graphic card Nvidia 8600 gts. So , I unistalled my video card, then I installed AC 9 and finaly I re-installed the video card again.
Problem solved. Stupid though...

Computers are weird (kind of amazing that they work at all). GS as a software developer is just one small part of the weirdness.

I suppose you uninstalled the video card drivers not the card itself right? If yes maybe previous drivers were beta version (not WDM). But after all graphic drivers should not affect archicad installation.
