@BlueBread,
Sorry i have not responded earlier...i didnt get a notification email (that or i missed it :/)

@SamPage,
Well that sucks

Did anyone try the new beta drivers that came out today?

Hey guys,

I have been going back and forth with nvidia about the speed issues of the Fermi based cards over the past month or so and its an opengl speed issue with the 4xx architecture only, which may or may not be fixed in with a new driver.
Apparently its an issue with double sided lighting ...

@Radiance
Can you see any reason why using XP compatibility mode fixes this problem?
It seems as long as XP compatibility mode is on for the initial startup of the program it will work perfectly (even if i uncheck it) until the next reboot of the pc.
Any ideas?

Ok this is odd.
I just ran the program as normal and it crashed.
I then ran it in XP SP2 compatibility mode and it worked..i then turned off XP SP2 compatibility mode and now it works all the time.
That doesn't make much sense now does it?

If anyone has an idea of why this happened, please feel ...

Thanks kivig!
You inspired me to try the 32bit version again and it worked!(with 197.13 drivers):D
I must have make a mistake last time i tried the 32bit and accidentally launched the 64bit version instead.

So it looks like this is a specific issue with the 64bit Edition on Vista 64.

Curious...i installed the new Silo 2.2 beta a the day after it was released...

Can you move the thread i created about Octane crashing on start up please?

Thanks

Thanks for the replys guys.
Looks like its something to do with the Vista 64bit drivers then ,seeing as that both Javadevil and I use that OS and are having the same problem :/
Hopefully it gets fixed in a future driver update.

@Radiance
Is there anyway that you can test if it is a Vista 64bit ...

Any more thoughts on this?
I have run out of ideas

Yea that was me :)
I usually do a fresh install every 6 months (the most recent install was just over a month ago)
The thing is that every other program i run day to day is ok...even xNormal which has a Cuda renderer runs ok.
Do you know of a way to test an install to see if it is broken without ...
