Nikon Capture Editor And Amd

[Elliot]

Hello,

 

I have a Nikon D70 with the Nikon Capture Editor 4.1.3 The computer is a Dual Opteron 250. The program crashes every time I load it up. Actually the computer is thwe one that crashes and reboot. AMD blames Nikon, Nikon blames AMD....! I know it is a well known bug. The software and the Opterons are not compatible. There is a lot of information about this subject on the internet.

 

I have heard some people have been succesful. Does anybody here has experienced the same problem. Have you fixed it....?

 

I don't have that problem on the Xeon machine.

 

Thanks

Elliot

Hi

The demo version ran OK on my dual 248 (Windows XP, SP2, Thunder K8W mainboard with Quadro 980XGL graphics) - I think it was version 4.1, downloaded off the Nikon site.

Not much use I know, but hope it helps!

Deri,

 

You are a lucky person. I have read some people have no problems and then some people have problems. My comp worked OK until I installed SP2. I am going to keep trying. In the meantime I open the files with Photoshop.

 

I was not convinced on the RAW format but lately I have noticed it is better to do RAW even with the disadvantage of the file size.

 

Thanks for your response.....!

Hello,

 

After struggling with this issue for 2 months, I was able to fix the problem. Just modify the boot.ini. There is several configurations available depending on your computer.
