Hello! I’ve got problem with Showcase 2013. It starts up normally, turning color scheme to basic Win7 and the main window shows up. All menus are fully operable, i can open sample files etc. The only problem is with 3D view, it doesn’t work at all. It’s just blank screen, grey or black, depending on whether the scene is loaded or not. Here is my spec:

AMD 4200+ X2
2GB RAM
NVIDIA 7900GT

Showcase 2012 is working fine.

Think your configuration is too low..

“Certified hardware-accelerated graphics card with a minimum of 512MB graphics memory
(1GB recommended) and DirectX ®9 support).”

I never see your problem, sorry
Try last driver graphic, reinstallation of d3d 11..

Well, i found interesting thing - Inventor 2013 has the same problem. But in Inventor there is a simple fix, i just have to set it to compatibility mode. Now it’s working fine. Unfortunately, i don’t see similiar option in Showcase.

showcase is much more graphic card intensive than inventor
it sounds like your graphic card can’t handle showcase
