You'll need to at least add a RenderTarget node and plug your geometry into it to see anything in your viewport.

Starting with an empty project file and without any established camera, it defaults camera position of 0,0.5,1, so you probably need to pull back/zoom out quite a bit to see your geometry.

Yes, that's what I did before. But there, I can not move anything, the cursor is blocked on the hand (pan). Left click nothing, middle click nothing, right click nothing. The rest seem to be working fine :roll:

1.55 is pretty old, it might not support the newer drivers. I would run it in a command terminal and see if there are any error messages. You might have to downgrade your video driver to a version that was current around the same time that 1.55 was out.

Hi ,

Ok there seems to be an error with cuda. This is what Grimm predicted. I can't, and don't want to change drivers just for that, so many I'll end there.
Thanks for your help .
take care of yourself .
