Can't do anything on PTC Creo 3.0

Hey!

I can just sketch a model on the PTC Creo 3.0 version but can't seem to perform basic functions like Extrude, fillet, trim and so on.

This is the error I always get.

What computer, Operating system, graphics card?

Has another version been installed and overwritten?

Lenovo G510 laptop, 4th gen i5 processor with 8GB RAM, Intel 4400 on board graphic card.

This is the first and only version of PTC Creo 3.0 on my machine

Try the graphics config option to "win32_gdi" as in:

graphics win32_gdi

Hey,

Can you suggest exactly where can I find this option. As in where do I get this option under ?

I can't access the link. It shows several options and I am unable to find the actual one where I can change the graphics to win 32_gdi.

Can you please direct me exactly as to where to change the setting.

You need to change the option, save the change, then restart Creo.
