LukeC Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi guys, I've had this re-occuring problem in that everything in my viewport dissapears after my computer is on screensaver. This has happened in both max 8 & 9 though i dont recall it always being like that. Anyone know what the case might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyorl Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 What a graphic card u have? I have the same problem with my Quadro - maximize/restore down often helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambros Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 the screensaver will probably use the same graphics mode that max uses (directx or opengl) and will not free respective resources. I have experienced it with some games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeC Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 I'm using a quadro fx 3500. The screensaver is just the typical windows xp logo bouncing around - nothing fancy, although it seems like it happens after the monitor powers down (after its been to screen saver for xx minutes) - though i could be wrong. is there a way to change the graphics mode for the screensaver? Interestingly enough, this problem doesnt happen on the other machine we have here that has the exact same setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
