Autodesk Inventor

[#1]

Inventor should see it as a quadro too, otherwise I guess you screwed something up. Go to the advanced settings for display properties, click on graphics card and check in OpenGL properties if you can choose between settings for different professional applications, should be ACAD, 3dsmax, Microstation and so on. If there is no list something went wrong. You can search the web for GLinfo tool that will post correct openGL renderer if Inventor is doing something wrong. For basic setup, one should install drivers first than install nvstrap reboot and reinstall drivers, during boot of windows it should come up with " new video adapter found", after this patching the nv4_mini.sys in %Windir%\system32\drivers\ and reboot again. You´re done !

Dude,

Something went wrong...I would guess that the install of the anti protection
script did not work go over this again. INV WILL see it as a quadro when it
is done right. Let me know if you still cant get it to work...
