    I am having a problem with the Quadro 2000 (Windows 7 64 bit on a Dell T7500). When I first open up a model then the screen is black until I rotate it. Also sometime the buttons are greyed out for some menu picks. However, it is my own fault as it is not listed as supported:

    Nvidia Quadro's... They list midrange as the 2000 model...

    Thanks...

    I also have a black screen upon model load until rotation.

    FYI, I am using WF50 M060 on a Dell T5500 using Windows 7-64 bit and a
    Quadro 3800 card.

    I'm running video card bios 62.0.74.0.b and driver 8.17.12.5981



    So, I don't think all of the fault is your card (hardware). There is no
    Pro-E setting specifically for the card. I am using '3D App - Default
    Global Settings' in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

    I hear a lot of issues with Quadro cards on Dell machines with Windows 7
    64 bit.  I'm running the 3800 and have the black screen issue
    occasionally, but not often.  I also have occasional graphics card
    crashes, which others have reported, flashing and ghosting when dragging
    the insert bar in the model tree and model flashing when resizing the
    model tree.



    Not sure if this is a Dell issue, an Nvidia issue, a 64 bit issue or a
    Pro/E issue.

    This may not be pertinent in this case.

    I built up a system for analysis. I chose the Nvidia GTX480 because of the
    480 GPUs in it for some fea and cfd. It has 1.5g of ddr5 ram. I am running
    Win7-64 with 12G ddr3. The first build had a noname ssd and a XFX mainboard
    and graphics card. I figured that the same vendor could make their things
    run well together. The ssd kept hiccupping, so it got replaced with an Intel
    ssd. Nothing but problems with the XFX. Dumped them and put in a Gigabyte
    mainboard and a Gigabyte GTX480. All runs well for almost a year now.
    Quality components made the difference. Just because it says Nvidia Quadro
    2000 doesn't mean there aren't any differences in vendors.

    Good luck,

    Bill

    I'll add mine to the mix... I think it is a Win7 x64 bug...



    I am running a Lenovo W510 w/ nVidia Quado FX880M Win7 x64 and I get the
    black screen probably 20% of the time as well.

    Okay - It must be a WIN7 64 bug, as I am using a Dell M6500 with an Nvidia
    Quadro and am having NO graphics issues
