tS7.5 Demo and XP Pro 64-bit About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. tS7.5 Demo and XP Pro 64-bit // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by Plum // May 27, 2007, 9:20pm Plum Total Posts: 39 Hiya. tS7.5/Vray install and run fine on my Windows 2000 side. Said programs also install (seemingly) fine on Windows XP Professional 64-bit...BUT...tS 7.5 just hangs/crashes when trying to start up. I don't even see the interface; just the tS7.5 start up graphic. So, is this a DEMO bug, or a tS 7.5 bug? Because the specifications page on tS7.5 here on the Caligari site says it needs "Windows Vista, XP or XP Pro." Well, I have XP Pro...and it's not working. Oh, computer stats: Windows XP Pro 64-bit MSI MASTER FAR-2 motherboard 2x AMD Opteron 246's 2GB DDR333 ECC RAM BFG Tech GeForce 7800 GS OC (256MB DDR3) Creative Audigy ZS 2 Post by Jack Edwards // May 27, 2007, 11:21pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 There's still some issues with the 64-bit flavors of Windows. It works fine for some and not so fine for others. I'm running 7.5 on Vista x64 with some minor glitches. Have you tried contacting tech support? -Jack. Post by Plum // May 29, 2007, 4:10am Plum Total Posts: 39 Hiya. I haven't contacted tech support yet. It is a demo, after all...I'm not sure what they had to do to 'fix it' so there is no saving, exporting, etc....that could very well be the problem. Who knows? Ahhh well, first things first; see if I want to save to upgrade to tS 7.5. I can do that by using the demo on the Win2k side of things. If it looks like I'm getting the hang of it and likeing what I see, then I'll do some more experimenting on the XP-64 side of the fence. :) Post by Bobbins // May 29, 2007, 5:37am Bobbins Total Posts: 506 Check what version of video drivers you have - the tS7.5 readme (I don't have the demo so no idea if it says the same) mentions NVidia drivers 84.21 or newer must be installed. I would also contact tech support as there is a config file that should be edited on 64-bit systems to disable OpenGL rendering in Model view - this will cause hangs at the spash screen like you describe. I've searched for the info on what to edit and how, but not been able to locate it - sorry. Tech Support should identify it for you in a flash.
