Autodesk 3d Software and Intel G35 media accelerator driver

[kildjun]

Hi !!

First i would like apologize me for my bad english !!

I'm running a windows vista sp1 with Quadcore 6600 and 4gb of ram and everytime i try to start maya or max using the intel media accelerator driver it crashes. When i do an uninstallation of the intel driver the maya or max runs fine( i already tried at least 3 different versions of the driver ).

Is there anything that i can do or the video board isnt compatible with those software ??

Thanks in advance

There are multiple reports on Maya crashing with intel drivers:

That seems to be across platforms (XP, Vista) since the OpenGL driver code which Maya uses is most likely the same for all these.

The best thing you can do: Get in touch with Maya support to trace down the bug that causes the crash. Then they can decide how to best fix the bug: Either provide a walkaround or bugfix in Maya or get the intel driver straight. The second best thing you can do: Find the intel driver that works. Reply #2 in the first posting does contain the hint that "a year old driver works".
