Jerome Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi Guys, Can anyone explain to me why WYSIWYG wants to shut down on me every time I want to use shaded or quad view? I am running it off parallels on a Mac and its just a little frustrating. I'm new to the software and I love it but I'm also learning thats its moody. I was wondering if it was a graphics problem or something to do with the processing speed in parallels? Any help would be gratefully received.

LX2501 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It may be because there is not enough processing power or RAM available to parallels, and WYG may simply crash inside parallels. WYSIWYG can be pretty CPU intensive at times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be the fact I was running it in parallels but I thought I'de just get a second opinion. thanks a lot Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sessiondrummer Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Does sound like a Ram or CPU issue, What spec are you trying to run on??? Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I am actually getting the same issue. I put it down to IT doing a weird install. However it was mentioned that it might need some more RAM in the brand new machine. My current work around is just to work in plan views, I have not touched renders yet.. However I found it only crashed when lights were added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecnical Bradders Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Try to run the mac on bootcamp this uses less CPU power than parallels and should work better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I emailed tech support (who are fantastic I might add) I emailed the files I was having issues with and they had them working fine so I am delving a bit more in to it and getting IT to look at graphics "1. DriversEnsure you have the latest video card drivers. Also, try reinstalling your drivers again and ensure you are installing the proper one for either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows."

Smiffy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi: I run Wysiwyg on a windows 7 64 Bit machine, with 4Gb of Ram and an E8500 processor, I get the occasional shutdown too, and I've never gotten to the bottom of it. That said, I rarely do a drawing with anything less than about 100 movers, a smattering of generics, and vast set drawings imported from Sketchup. If it was anything, I would say that it's the RAM. Also check that your paging file (if Macs have such a thing) is not fragmented. It will help if you set the min/max size to the same and that your min/max size is about 1.5 times your RAM (at least that's the way it is in Windoze) Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
