Problems running NVidia GeForce 7600GT with R12
I just upgraded to C4D R12 Broadcast and the install went fine. Then when I ran a graphics card evaluation inside Cinema’s preferences it said that I needed to upgrade my graphics card to the latest WHQL driver and that I may experience crashes when in Enhanced OpenGL mode. I went to the NVidia site and upgraded my NVidia GeForce 7600 card driver to version 260.99 WHQL, but when I tried to open Cinema 4D it only got as far as the interface and would not open up the main viewport in Perspective View. Nothing but the old hourglass. I’m running WinXP with 2GB of RAM on a Core 2 Duo and would like to know what my options are.

If you hold down the Shift key when you start Cinema it will open in software emulation mode. When Cinema opens turn off enhanced OGL in preferences.
I think your video card is too old to support EOGL. If it won’t run in standard OGL mode you may need to roll back the drivers … or buy a newer card.

Thanks for the tip. I tried to open the program with the Shift key down but it still only got as far as the interface with the Perspective View just a blank gray space. Thing is, I’ve never had any problems running C4D R11 with this card so maybe there’s something else at work here. It was doing just fine before I changed drivers on the card.
By the way, I’m having a devil of a time trying to retrain R12 to try to reconstruct where in the world to find textures on models created in R11. When it says that a texture is located at “preset//user.lib4d/materials/tex/image.jpg” I haven’t been able to locate where on my computer that is in order to tell R12 where to go to get it.
I guess upgrades are always a learning process. Thanks for your help.
