    Okay, I'm posting this again!

     

    Official word from Inventor Graphics
    team:

     

    "We put out this warning for cards which are
    certified but which may in the future be able to run better with other drivers
    or registry settings.  Customers can always safely ignore warnings if they
    don't see any problems -- the warning is of a possible cause in case they do see
    problems.  The message can be turned off with the check boxes in the
    Tools>Application Options>Hardware tab."

    Sean,

     

    I've seen that "may need registry updates and
    that I'm not using a certified card" message also, even though I'm up to date
    and certified.  I just turned off the warnings.  I believe I saw
    some post that others were also seeing this.

     

    My graphics card is ATI fire GL2.

    slightly better after a reboot (as with all
    other version of IV).

     

    Turned on the "warn if not using a certified
    card" and it tells me I may need registry updates and that I'm not using a
    certified card.  Well I am and I'm using the recombined graphics. 
    I'm convinced that message is about worthless.

     

    I don't see any registry updates on the
    graphics site however.  I vaguely remember a post about this but can't
    seem to find it.

     

    Joe you are right.  Apparently she's angry
    about me seeing that other CAD package.  Really baby, nothing
    happened I promise..<g>

    LOL.

    Sean, a bit obvious but does to continue after a reboot? Does it happen
    in just one file or several files?

    I'm running a GIII and haven't seen performance
    problems yet (now I've done it) haven't seen the crashes either ... maybe two
    since R6 got here (talk about having done it now, is that called a fearless fool
    or what?). <G>

    Your right,..... you have done it.... I am going to make a midnight visit to
    borrow that machine for a while I still can't get mine going good
    enough to use full time. Thought I had it when the files migrated Ok, but
    then after working for a while when I tried to save it came up with some
    sort of error message and wouldn't let me. I am far enough behind now I
    couldn't risk it anymore.

    Keith-


    If the optimized application in the Windows advanced display settings isn't set to "Autodesk Inventor", Inventor "sees" the FireGL2 driver ID as a one that is not certified. If it's set to "Autodesk Inventor", Inventor sees the graphics driver ID as "ATI\Fire GL23 SIMD\1.2.2088", which is certified. With it set to "Default", it's "ATI\Fire GL2 Pentium III (SSE)\1.2.2088" (your PC may be different).



    Oddly enough, though, for older releases of Inventor, Autodesk recommended the "Default" setting, not the "Autodesk Inventor" setting.

    Sean,

     

    Hopefully you realize I was just
    kidding.


    style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">

    we always mock that which we don't
    understand <vbg>

     

    I don't blame Eric.  It seems for a while I
    was in the minority of those that could get it to work.  It's still
    useable just a bit annoying.  Hopefully it doesn't get worse and SP1 will
    clear it up..

    Sean, how does it feel to be a "marked man"? It sounds like some have just
    been waiting to hear a bad experience from you.
