Hi fellas, I wonder if I could tap into this wealth of
knowledge. I am the IT manager for several companies here
in the UK and one of these companies recently bought in
PTC creo (already using wildfire 5). Two of our guys were
given new Dell Vostro 3750 17" notebooks to replace old
desktops. They requested notebooks as they will be more
mobile in the future and I was charged with sourcing them
new hardware. I chose this model as it has discrete
graphics, fast cpu etc.
They were bought a few weeks apart, Dell Vostro 3750 with
W7 Pro 64bit, 4gb ram, Nvidia graphics and the initial
machine (core i3 from memory) went smoothly, everything
works fine having configured it to use the discrete
Nvidia chip.
The second machine iirc is a core i5 with the Nvidia
GT525M chip, I have configured the drivers to use the
Nvidia chip as best as I could see in the Nvidia control
panel and selected Creo to use this chip.
I got a call recently saying that some parts of drawings
under Creo were not showing correctly, lines missing etc.
This seems to be an intermittent problem on the second
laptop but does not affect the other machine at all. Has
anyone seen this problem before? I think it is the intel
chip isnt fully compatible and is causing this problem as
I cannot disable it totally to test the Nvidia chip
alone.
Help!! many thanks.
