boardcad

running boardcad 2.0 on win7 dell laptop, i5 processor, nvidia gpu, java 6

boardcad crashes if i try to move the window to my external monitor

got to be a fix, any suggestions… ???

not sure if it’s the video card on the macchine or something software fixable, etc…

Thanks for any pointers!

Try with any other 3D app (using OpenGL) and see if they work when you drag them from one screen to the other. This used to be an issue with some Nvidia drivers, if I remember correctly it was also dependent on how the dual screens where setup. I don’t know if this is still the case, but upgrading the display driver doesn’t hurt.

Thanks for the suggestion, updated driver and no luck.

I don’t have this problem with other cad apps.

Playing with settings i figured something out though.

I can get boardcad to drag to an HDTV, but not a 1600x1200 monitor.

To get it on my external 1600x1200, I have to make it the primary monitor. Once that’s done, I can drag it to the laptop display, but not the other way around!

Weird, but not too bad I guess.
