Well further searching revealed that others with the nvidia gforce fx 5200 cards have driver issues. I managed to get MB running without a black viewport, but with black models and runs like a sow. More searching revealed if you are running 1 gig ram you can pretty much forget it.
I will try this app out on my newer laptop with twice as much ram and a much more powerfull nvidia card, looks nifty indeed:).
Hope this helped someone.

Well I got Mudbox up and running on my newer laptop without any trouble at all and it seems to be running just fine. Up till now it looks like I can get a little more detail out of it than I am used to. I will only know that when I pump out maps at the end of the test.
It is the kind of app I would consider getting a new computer for.
Cheerio Chris
I’m in the same boat.Latest catalyst drivers but getting the 1 sec lag and also weird blue pixels flickering around the mesh as soon as i go up a few levels.:banghead:
The 1 sec lag is unbearable.Any word on this or have you sorted it yourself yet?
It seems(having read AD hardware guide)that Ati radeons, geforce cards and cards below 512(basically gaming cards) are ill advised for use with MB09.
a higher end card is required for optimum usage.
It’s off to the bank for me:scream:
I am having the same problem but my 3d view is showing white viewport.
I hv windows xp pro sp1, is this service pack problem ??
zbrush 3.1 and mudbox 1 works fine on my pc.
well hello everyone, i had the same black viewport in mudbox like many of you do. so i started researching and i finally came to a solution. if you have a 256mb ati radeon x 1300 pro card, you can go to the following site and download OPTION 2, install it, it’ll probably ask you to restart your pc. when your pc comes back to life lol. just open mudbox 2009 and shazzam lolol… i just got it working so i’m excited… Well i hope this helps… like you all helped me…
