Texture Coordinate Editor causing crash

ggunhouse · 27th February 2009, 05:42 PM

Hi,
I was working on a project using AC3D 6.4 today, when all of a sudden I started getting crashes every time I tried to open the Texture Coordinate Editor. My graphics adapter (ATI Radeon X300) is apparently experiencing a problem that it never had before.
I have updated my graphics drivers to the latest version. I have re-installed AC3D. I have run RegistryBooster. Still, the problem persists.
Any ideas what might be going on, or how I might fix it?

You probably need to rollback the ATI drivers.

I tried rolling back the drivers (though I had not updated them until after I encountered this problem), but that did not work. I rolled them back one step further, but still no luck. I once again uninstalled AC3D, and this time deleted any AC3D folders or files, then reinstalled AC3D. Still, whenever I open the Texture Coordinate Editor, AC3D freezes and ATI's VPU Recover closes AC3D. Any other ideas of how I might figure out what's gone wrong? Is it possible my GPU has just gone bad? It claims it is working fine.

Unfortunately, the ATI drivers are notorious for this sort of problem. When you uninstall, it can leave stuff around causing problems.

You should be able to find instructions on how to fully remove a driver set and rollback on some other forums - via Google. Let us know how you get on.

OK. I did a more thorough clean-out of the ATI drivers, and now the Texture Coordinate Editor works again. Thanks for the help.
