empty numerical fields with geforce fx 5500

#1

The numerical fields and graphic icons for null, camera, etc in the setup tab area all empty. I can enter numbers in the numerical fields and messiah will move an object the appropriate amount but no values are visually appearing. In the setup tab I can add an object fine, the graphical icon just isn’t there.
I have a geforce fx 5500 video card. I’ve updated to the latest driver and the problem is still there.

Do I have to go out and buy another video card?

At work I have a Quadro card, I don’t know the specifics, I can post when I go back in Tuesday. With the Quadro cards when I go to enter a numeric value messiah produces what I can best describe as a strobey onion skinning effect. I’ve checked these forums and set the block transfer and vertical sync to what everyone suggests.

If anyone can help with either problem it’s most appreciated. I’m really hoping to use messiah on this project and this graphical problem is a bit frustrating to deal with.

Thanks.

Swap the card.
I had the same problem and it cant be fixed.

I got a G-force 5600 and works fine.

Just a shot in the dark: I have a GeForce 5200 Go that has exactly the same problem when running on a higher screen resolution. The card works properly when working on a 1024x768 resolution, so maybe that helps with your card as well.

Thanks Panikos, good thing for the compatible video card thread. I’ll look into getting a new card.

Suricate, I think i tried dropping my resolution down and the numerical fields still came up empty. Strange that this card would have this problem.

Thanks again for your guys’ help.

Hi guys,

got my BFG FX5500 OC working on 1024x768 … no other resolution works on my set up - not ideal but you don’t need to dump your card just yet :wink:
