Mudbox crash when doing pretty much anything

#1

Hi,

I’ve just upgraded to MB 2009, and installed it on my workstation - which seems to work OK (touch wood) (XP64)

I’ve now installed it on my laptop which is a Dell M6400 Quad Core, Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 4Gig RAM, Quadro 2700 512MB RAM, and when I paint or rotate the view, Mudbox crashes with a ‘stopped responding error’

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this? I’ve got all the Aero junk turned off.

Thanks,

Steve

I had the same problem and fixed it by updating my graphic drivers.

Sadly I can’t find anything on nvidia’s site, or Dell’s site not even the current drivers.

Cheers

Here’s the driver page

Hi, thanks

yes, I looked there but there are no drivers for a NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M - the closest seems to be a 2500M.

Cheers

S@@t steve,it seems like they’ve every feckin driver listed…except the one you’re after:twisted::smiley:

#7

Yeah, I’ll try contacting them see what they say.

I’ll have to make do with MB1 or ZB on the laptop, but then there’s the annoyance that MB1 files aren’t easily compatible with MB2009.

Cheers

steve,have you checked here it appears autodesk have a generic quadro driver that works for many of their products…??

just a thought.

I searched through several of the quadro mobile series cards and they all pointed me there.

strange that nvidia build cards and fail to supply drivers for them.

Hi,

I tried the 162.65 Quadro drivers but they won’t install saying they can’t find compatible hardware.

Cheers

Steve there’s a good chance you can find the driver at www.laptopvideo2go.com. It has a large selection of drivers in it forum. So it comes down to testing the driver in a given driver series because different versions in the driver series are tweak differently. I’ve used the drivers when I downgraded my notebook to XP. Happy hunting.
