Question

'vport1' frozen due to Graphics Error!

Just started playing with this (elements) an using the tutorial. After the fist coulple lessons I got this error...

'vport1' frozen due to Graphics Error!

Tried searching for a thread about it but the only one was in a language I don't speak.

Any help would be appreaciated. I'm testing out the free version to see if I want to go to the paid version.

Did I do something, or did I not know you go a limited number of sessions before having to pay?

Thanks

Craig

Hi VladimirN,

The error occurs on startup of the program for me. I cannot do anything on the program due to this - there is no viewport and i cannot create one without getting error. I have a screenshot of the error box on a community post i made. 
cheers
