BabaCAD Forum

I just installed BabaCAD 2017 x64_2.0.0 and it crashes about half way through the initializing progress bar. I would like to try this out. Any suggestions? I can run a test or forward a log file to you if I know what you need.

Matt

Update graphics card drivers and restart BabaCAD. If same problem exists, check if you have two graphics card and switch from integrated card (often it's intel integrated low performance graphics) to hi-performance graphics card.

If you try to run BabaCAD on virtual machine like vmware, vbox,.. there can be problems as virtual machine graphics are not well supported with OpenGL.

I have only integrated graphics on my laptop (intel). Do I need to install or upgrade OpenGL? I'm not sure where to find OpenGL for my machine (Acer 1830T).

I ran OpenGL Extensions Viewer and I have OpenGL 2.1
(Current: 2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2189)

Core features
v1.1 (100 % - 7/7)
v1.2 (100 % - 8/8)
v1.3 (100 % - 9/9)
v1.4 (100 % - 15/15)
v1.5 (100 % - 3/3)
v2.0 (100 % - 10/10)
v2.1 (100 % - 3/3)
v3.0 (73 % - 17/23)
v3.1 (25 % - 2/8)
v3.2 (0 % - 0/10)
v3.3 (0 % - 0/10)
v4.0 (0 % - 0/14)
v4.1 (0 % - 0/7)
v4.2 (0 % - 0/13)
v4.3 (0 % - 0/23)
v4.4 (0 % - 0/10)
v4.5 (0 % - 0/11)

What version of OpenGL is required?

The BabaCAD window appears, looks good, but when the "initializing" progress bar reaches about half way, the program freezes and I have to close it. Is there a startup log I can check?

Thanks,
Matt

OpenGL version is ok, but you have to update drivers for you graphic card if there are vendor's bugs fixed in meantime. Also, can you tell me what's going in case when you install older BabaCAD version 1.3.4 (it's second download button on babacad.com website; it's 32-bit but also runs on all Windows versions)?

BabaCAD version 1.3.4 runs fine. No 3D though I think.

Matt

Also, I have the most recent factory drivers already. Unfortunately.

There is something weird, and I cannot realize what it is. I have already tested BabaCAD 2017 on several computers running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and everything was fine. Maybe once more thing you can try, to go to properties of babacad.exe in explorer (Program Files/BabaCAD/BabaCAD) and select compatibility mode and try different options (vista, XP, ...), then restart BabaCAD 2017. It would be
pretty bad for you not to use a new BabaCAD 2017, as there are so many improvements and more better user interface in new version, but if not you must be satisfied with running old 32-bit version 

I always get the same message, no matter what compatibility I pick:

I don't know if this helps.
Dr. Watson may have produced a more complete error dump, but I forget where they are stored.

I see it's not Dr. Watson anymore. Does this help?

Windows dump cannot help me a lot. I will try to find computer with intel integrated graphics card to test, as I'm sure 99% that's the problem.

Thank you. I really appreciate the help. Let me know if I can do anything to help. I will keep trying to figure out if I can install generic Intel drivers or something.

Matt

Matt,

Check: http://www.guru3d.com to find different / tweaked drivers. I'm trying myself to get my windows 10 dell laptop up and running for babacad.

Cheers, Remco

Thanks R2G.

Also, is there a minimum graphics memory requirement for BabaCAD?

There is no minimum requirements for graphics memory size, cause every graphic card in last 10 years supports OpenGL and has minimum 32 Mb of memory.
