Software OpenGL checked on one user, not on another

Jun 10, 2004 1 Replies

I'm the primary user of my computer (SW2004 Education Edition = 2003 commercial; Windows 2000 constantly windows-updated, nVidia Quadro 500, new driver a couple months ago, dual monitor configuration). When I use SolidWorks under my login, everything is fine and dandy, Software OpenGL is unchecked. However, when a co-worker of mine logs in (different windows user account) and fires up SolidWorks, Software OpenGL is checked and grayed out.



Any tips on why this might be happening? I can provide more specific driver details etc. later.



Thanks! Denny Trimble University of Washington



The reason the box will be grayed out is if SW doesn't see a compatible card. Under his login, check Device Manager to see if the video card and driver are enabled. Maybe?
