Hi!
I had been using an older version of WME up until recently with no problems (including 3D projects).
However, since installing the latest version I get an error message that reads;
"Error initializing accelerated renderer. Sticking back to software..."
This happens whenever I try to open a project. Also If I try to run a standalone project that requires acceleration, It tells me my computer has no 3D acceleration...
On top of this, I reinstalled my older version of WME only to find IT now has the same problem.
I have an Nvidia Geforce Go 7900GTX and have tried the three drivers I have available with no success.
My machine also runs Vista and has no problems with the many other 3d accelerated tools I use.
What on earth has gone wrong?
-
Try running the dxdiag tool (just type "dxdiag" into Vista's search box) and go to the Display tab. Check whether it says Direct3D acceleration is enabled (or if there are any problems listed).
-
Yep, according to DxDiag; everything is enabled and no problems were found...
Incidentally, the version which worked previously was 1.8.1
Thanks for the quick response by the way!
-
Well, the renderer definitely hasn't changed since 1.8.1, so probably something must have changed about your configuration... I'm out of clues though. So you're using the latest ForceWare now?
-
Well, since my computer is a laptop (Y'know how they are about drivers) I am using the latest drivers I have available.
I guess I'll have to reset my machine to factory settings and try again.
Thanks for your time!
