Forum Post: Descartes SS4 + NVidia crash

Hi all,

I got a new laptop and installed Descartes SS4 straight away.  To my dismay when drawing with a POD loaded, the display driver kept stopping about every 10-20 seconds.  Screen goes black, then recovers and goes back to normal, only about 2-3 seconds but when it happens frequently it's very annoying and unproductive!

After a bit og Googling I found that there is a Known Issues list, and on it I found a fix for my issue!  It seems that it's a Direct X thing so if you have the same problem you just need to set an Environment Variable as follows:

 

Nvidia Driver Issue

If you have error messages related to the display driver, you should set the following variable at the Operating System level, not as a MicroStation environment variable.

QV_D3DVERSION=9
