[GiDlist] cannot visuallize the workspace (Windows 7 x64)

GiDList Archive 2013 - 2005

Dear GiD staff,



My department bought some time ago a floating USB-license for GiD 9, and I
have been able to work with it in a couple of computers (a workstation and a
normal PC) without any problems.



But now I have installed it in a new laptop with Windows 7 (x64) and I
cannot visualize the geometries or meshes. The program seems to install well
but when I run it on the laptop, the workspace window (the area of the
screen where one normally sees the geometry, mesh, etc) is black, except for
the little corner where the coordinate axes are, which appears as normal
(white background and the axes in red). Other than that, everything seems ok
(I can see the menus, the command buttons, etc). Only the working area is
completely black and I cannot see anything.



I tried loading a project with a predefined geometry, and it didn’t help.
All I could see from the geometry were the parts that were on the left lower
corner, right “on top” of the coordinate axes.



I tried uninstalling and re-installing the program, but that didn’t help. So
then I downloaded the latest version from GiD web-page (version 9.0.4), but
the same problem persists.



Is that a matter of configuration? Do I need to set the preferences in some
specific way? If you could help me here I would be very grateful.



Best regards, and thanks in any case

Pablo



PS: Since perhaps someone has experienced this problem before, I tried to
look for this issue in the gid-list archives, but I could not find them in
your new web-page. Do you have a new link to the gidlist archives?
