program crashes

Apparently, Radeon cards can be problematic with ProE. I had a problem with a 9000 card that I kind of fixed by setting the "AGP fast write support" in cmos to disable.

You also might want to try different versions of drivers from the ATI website.

Okay I'll try that. As for the drivers I just downloaded and installed the most current driver. Should I try going back to a previous driver?

Thanks John

Try completely uninstalling the drivers and re-installing them. I had a problem when I didn't do this and Pro just stopped working. Interestingly enough, since nothing else hammers OpenGL like Pro/E everything else worked fine.

I was just talking to an ATi engineer .... he said, "Hmm. You know what ? We should have developed a gaming driver and an OpenGL driver."

Yeah, they should have. The hardware isn't really the problem. It's the crappy gameboy drivers, not that that helps us much. Maybe if all you ATi owners wrote them explaining how ATi gets *very* bad publicity in the high-dollar professional computing world, the management would listen up ? Gotta throw the high-dollar part in there, that's about all they listen to.

Hello group,

I finally figured out that Pro/E was trying to access the internet for some reason and my firewall was blocking it. So I just set the firewall to allow Pro/E to access everything it needed and BINGO it works just fine.

Thanks for all your help

John
