SketchIp 6 installation

Al Hart

I received this query from a client:

Last week I got a new computer and I uninstalled and reinstalled Sketch up Pro 6 without a problem.

But now it is acting rather buggy almost like it has a virus. I have tried reinstalling it again but no change…

Any thoughts?
(I am redirecting the client to this thread)

Check all the video card drivers to make sure they are updated.

Also, make sure to test it on multiple models. If they are just testing a single model, thre could be a problem with the specific model

Thats a starting point I think.

Check the openGL settings as well. i think SU defaults to no hardware acceleration, so this could slow it down quite a lot.

After I started this thread I remembered that Hardware Acceleration causes Bug Splats on my machine. Every now and then SketchUp seems to switch back to it. (I remote login to my machine sometimes, and I think SketchUp sometimes changes its video settings when it notices this).

Last week, SketchUp started Bug Splatting, and I uninstalled it, re-installed it and was ready to cancel by demo the next day when nothing helped (I also deleted all the .rb files in the plugins folder). Then I remembered about the problems I sometimes have with Hardware Acceleration settings.
