Question

Creo Parametric 4.0 M030 doesn't open

Hi,

I recently successfully downloaded the most up to date student version of Creo 4.0 but I can not open the program. I previously had the 3.0 student version and never experienced any problems. Please let me know if there are any troubleshooting techniques I can attempt to figure out this issue.

 

Thank you

Hi,

 

So you installed Creo 4.0 M030 on your computer and it doesn't start, or you can't install it?

If you installed it and it doesn't run, most likely there is a graphic card issue. Check for updates for your graphic card and if that don't work, try this:

1. Right click Creo Parametric shortcut on your desktop and select properties;

2. In the target line, after "C:\Program Files\Creo 4.0\M030\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe" add this: -g:win32_gdi

 

This should fix it.

 

Thanks,

Alex

    My graphics card is up-to-date. Also, when I attempted to add  -g:win32_gdi to the target, I was prompted a shortcut error. I am still unable to open the program.

    Please try this:

    1. Use Wordpad to open the file C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 4.0\M030\Common Files\text\config.pro.
    2. Add a new line of text with the following option: "graphics win32_gdi".
    3. Save the file and start Creo again.

    Thanks,

    Alex
