Viewport or graphics problem

Post by cheeseburger » 08 Nov 2012, 18:51

Hi Folks,
Has any one ever come across this before ... see attachments.
I am running soft on windows on a mac via bootcamp and haven't seen this before on other macs that I use.
I normally don't have any problems in fact on my previous bootcamp setup on this mac (mac mini with intel graphics) everything was working fine.
I re installed windows and ... what a mess !
The image is of a cube, by the way

Any one ?

Thanks

Not sure, but this looks similar to the problem described here, so maybe the solution
("setting the XSI_EMULATE_OPENGL environment variable") to that problem could work in this case as well?

Locate the UserTools:
"Windows Start > Programs > Autodesk[version of Softimage] > UserTools"
Right-click the UserTools shortcut and click "Run as Administrator"
Highlight the "Setenv.bat" file in the UserTools and click "Edit File"

In this specific case:
Add

Code: Select all

set XSI_EMULATE_OPENGL=1.4
on a new separate line in this text.
Click Save and Quit.
