Lorentzen Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Hi guys. I've made a screenshot of how LDD looks on my computer: I use Windows 7, have a great graphic card and lots of memory and RAM, but it still does not work. Do any of you guys have an idea of what to do? Do I need to install something like a patch or a driver? EDIT: I can't work on the program, because it keeps "reloading" everything and things are black, as if there's something wrong with the graphic settings Edited June 4, 2010 by Lorentzen Quote
Calabar Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Specify video card and version of driver you installed. Explain how you installed the video card drivers. Tell us if you have problems with this software only or with other OpenGL software/games too. Already tried to uninstall the software, delete profile folder and reinstall it?

Lorentzen Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 Hello. I have tried to re-install LDD many times, with no effect. I've never had any issues with other programs, so I don't know if OpenGL screws with my computer or this program. This is my graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 - latest driver. I guess I installed the video drivers regularly Quote
Superkalle Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 This is most certainly a graphics card/refresh problem. I've had similar artifacts on my old laptop, but a modern card like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 sholdn't have any problem. Like Calabar says, if shall be able to help you, you need to be very detailed here. Can you please report OS (Win 7, but what version and 32 or 64 bit) OS Language Grapics Card manufacturer Graphics Driver Version DirectX version LDD Version (3.1.3, right?) Also, in LDD Edit > Preferences does it make any difference if you change compatability mode Quote
jamzee Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Hi - I've had a similar problem, I've got an Advent 6551 laptop which (I think) has a UMA Intel GL40 graphics card. It says "Lego has caught an exception in the OpenGL display driver and will need to close" - then says about opening in compatability mode but completely freezes. Oddly it worked ok on my old comp! Any ideas would be very welcome! Quote
