Hi Art,

  Thank you for your speedy reply, and as usual, you nailed it.  I checked and there was an update available from AMD.  Installed that and every thing is good.

Just as a data point, I had installed in the default C:\Gearotic Motion directory, but the man's head wasn't there, it does show up now after the driver update.  Sometimes it's hard to figure with video drivers, the computer is only 4 months old, and the updated driver package released in April, made the difference.

Thanks again,
Terry

Terry:

  It sounds as if OpenGL is having some trouble. Did you try verifying the video drivers are the latest?
The guys head should always appear so long as the folder is correctly installed. Did you allow it to reside in
C:\Gearotic motion, or did it go somewhere else?

Hi All,

I got a new computer and wanted to move gearotic2  to that machine.  I downloaded the latest version (  I think) 2.27200.  It seemed to install OK, and I added my license DAT file.  Under about gearotic2  it shows that it is licensed to me, just fine.

The problem is nothing shows up in the upper window when a start by picking a gear type, additionally the icon of the mans head is not there.

The computer is a Dell precision Tower 7810 with a Xeon processor and 32 G ram.  It's running Win 7 pro 64 bit, the graphics card is an AMD FirePro W5100 and I'm running two Dell U2412M monitors.

My feeling is it might be related to video because if I change the size of a window such as the tool/project  flyout, by making it larger, then returning to the smaller size, I see both edges of the window until I minimize the program and then bring it back.  Hitting refresh on the desktop doesn't help.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Terry
