helloEverybody

I'm running maya 4.5 with an ati All-in-Wonder pro video card and I'm having this problem:

whenever I pull up a hypershade window that needs to display the ramp shader node, maya freezes. I'm hoping this is not a video card issue, since I haven't had any real problems using my card with 4.0 previously.

The funny thing is that I've tried installing maya on an old pII 300 with a much older ati card and it works fine.

perhaps it is a software issue?

any help would be very welcome

probably just need to get the newest ati drivers for that card. If you allready have the newest ones then step back a version or two.

ah ha!

the old 'update your drivers' trick eh?...

...Well it worked this time.

...but who knows what those greedy nihilistic computer hardware companies will cook up next time to enslave the hapless consumer masses to their agenda of programmed obsolescence!...

;-)

thanks beaker.
