RS5.07 Locks up my Laptop

skphelps

I have recently installed RS 5.07 and every time I attempt to import a robot library or start a system my computer locks up just as it seems RS is trying to import the robot model. 

Any suggestions??

I am running and IBM T43p laptop:

• 2.00GHz Pentium Processor
• 1.00GB RAM
• 15GB Free space on the HD
• ATI Mobility FireGL V3200 Video Card with 128MB Ram
• Video Card is set to 1280x1024 and 96dpi
• Running Windows XP SP2

Any help would be great.

Kind Regards!

Hi Steve,
We would suggest that you configure your ATI Adapter with the following settings:
Open the ATI Adapter properties dialog which can be found under:
Start Menu/Settings/Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced.
Select the ATI Configuration tab. Add a new Configuration Profile with the following options enabled:

- Force copy swap
- Wait for vertical retrace
- Enable OpenGL acceleration
Also make sure that you have version 8.163.1.1 of that particular driver.
Kind Regards
Fredrik

This information also helped me. I was also locking up.

I have an IBM T42p with an ATI Mobility Fire GL T2

I have the same problem.

You have to download a patch from windows. It can switch between two different way of using your graphic card accelerator.

ABB software support can help you

Ask for this document "RS5.07.1688.Direct3D_Patch(A1.0).pdf"

and this patch "RS5.07.1688.Direct3D_Patch(A1.0).zip"

 

Frendly regards

Hy,  I had the same problem, but changing my display settings didn't help. I'm using T43p with 2G RAM and FireGL v3200 with 256MB RAM.

Problem solved by changing rendering in RS -> Tools -> Options -> Graphics -> Performance

Hope this helps somebody else to.
