      Install and try. If it doesn't work I'll tell you.

      SketchUp requirements seem to only mention .NET Framework 2.0 - http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=36208

        just uninstalled .net 4. from my machine. πŸ˜† It was causing problems with system startup. The icons didn't appear. I used to open windows task manager, do the end process for explorer.exe. Then the icons and the taskbar appeared. I guess .net 4 has some issues with 2. I have only version 2 installed. It was also installed before i installed ver. 4.

          What is confusing to me, is that I have instances of .net of a couple of versions. Evidently, it is not something that overwrites previous versions? And it is not backward compatible?

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            Several versions can peacefully co-exist on the system. Also it seems it's not backward compatible since you do need -NET 2 for SU even if you have something higher. See some explanation here:

              I have every version of .Net installed and all the latest patches for them with no issues.

              Best,

                so you have .net 2, 3.5 and 4 yeah?. I guess I should install 3.5 before installing version 4. That's why i'm having problems. You're using 32 bit xp or 64 bit?

                @gaieus, i have version 2 already installed. It was installed when I was installing my drivers.

                  I've been asked to install older .NET frameworks after I've installed newer versions - has not been a problem. AFAIK they can be added and removed independently and has no dependencies on each other.

                    I've uninstalled version 4 forever. I installed all the previous versions. Still when I installed 4 it was giving problems. BTW do you have version 4 installed on you XP machine? Which service pack are you using? I had this problem for a second my desktop looked like this for like 10 seconds. I've been using computers with windows for years but haven't ever experienced this kinda problem.

                      That looks more like a graphic card issue... πŸ˜• Odd that .NET framework should trigger such artifacts. Are you drivers up to date?

                      I don't know what's installed on my XP machine - it's an old laptop that's been stuffed away somewhere. Not using it any more.

                        Ok I'll update my drivers. I just recently got my hardware upgraded so didn't upgrade my drivers. I'll update. Maybe that would solve the problem. So you mostly work with Win 7 64 bit?

                        ❗ ❗ Man, you could just get that upgraded and like use it for renders. There's a friend of mine who has a laptop and a desktop with high configs. He uses desktop for rendering purposes and laptop for active work. I mean you put renderings on it, do active designing work on your another PC or laptop. πŸ’­

                          It's not suited for that work. It's quite old and very underpowered. Additionally, it's my private laptop and I don't do renderings at home. Enough of that at work.
                          At work I did use to have 11 old P4 computers that had been replaced by newer ones. But they where very time consuming to maintain and consumed a hell of a lot of power. Recently I discarded all of them and replaced them with two hexa-core computers that yields more CPU power for the tenth of the power consumption and 6 times easier to maintain.

                            Hexa core? May I know the name of the processors?? Are they i7? You're using 64 bit windows or 32 bit?

                              I can check the specs tomorrow when I'm back at the office. (just got home.)
                              Was looking at octgacores - or even one decacore I think - but two computers with hexacores gave the most bang for the bucks.
