Graphics messed up

Graphics messed up

i have 2 laptops that Student edition Creo 2.0 are installed on.

then i have a very nice powerfull desktop

the two laptops have trouble rendering and thats it.

the desktop renders like a chance, but instead of the part starting out in sketch as orange then when you give it depth it goes grey.

i get a black part right away.

what do i need to do to change or resolve this graphics issue? if that is wha it is.

any and all questions shoot em up.

desktop part:

The information outlined by Laurentiu may work but we have new information from development that makes the instructions outlined in the comment to this post a better procedure to follow. Please give these options a try.

Note that I think updating the graphics driver on your computer should fix the issue, without even changing the config.pro.

Hello,

Please update your graphic card driver.

Also you wiill need to edit the config.pro file manually:

  • Look in the folder C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\Mxxx\text\ for the file config.pro
    • The Mxxx may vary depending when you installed.
  • If this file exists open it in wordpad
    • If you are on Windows 7 you may need to open Wordpad first with admin privileges by going to Start > Programs > Accessories then right-clicking wordpad and choosing “Run as Administrator”. Then open the file
  • add the following line

graphics win32_gdi

  • Save the file and run Creo.
