Since you did mention about the Software OpenGL was unchecked - have you tried checking to see if it's worse or better?

Thank you for your answer. Well, if i check the option, it's a living hell, the assemblys simply doesn't rotate at all !. I get that "one frame"

180 degrees rotation. Is there any known incompatibility between SW and the card (Gforce 4 mx 440 w/TV) ?.

Please answer the following questions:

  1. Operating System and service pack
  2. Graphics driver
  3. CPU, memory, motherboard
  4. SW release and service pack
  5. When you check Use Software > I recently upgraded my card to a gforce 4 mx , and applyed softquadro to
42.01's... hmm i'd suggest trying to SoftQuadro different driver versions. Could be a prob with SW itself with those drivers. So try perhaps 44.03's or newer perhaps.

Ok i'll try this solution.Hope it works. Thanks. Luís

reinstalling

Okay, try this. Get the LATEST driver for the card, or at worst get the one that has been approved by SW themselves. And just for grins, try to NOT apply some other thingy (softquadro) to it until you see if the unmodified version works.
