Realview in SW PE edition??

Do you have the correct driver? Also If your on 2004 I believe RealView didn't become available for that card until service pak 3

That was true at first but somewhere around SP 3 more graphics cards became supported.

That is what I am thinking. I have the correct card and driver. I guess I need to contact my SW guys on Tues. to ask them. Not such a big deal because I understand I am on the PE edition right now but I am just wanting to know if this card actually is working ok. We are holding off on a purchase until the 2005 version which debuts here on the 14th.

I just compared the solidworks PE disk to the solidworks disc & found that the common.cab file does not include any of the CG files required to get real view to work. So I think that they must have striped that out in order to keep the pe edition on one disc. You might try getting a copy of someone shader directories (they will compress down to a bout 120 megs) & copy them over I bet that the functionality is in there but just missing those files.

Thanks for the info Steve. I'll give it a try if I can find the files!!
