Hi Everybody!

I have just started using Lightwave 10. It is an excellent software, but I have some little problems.
First of all, starting VPR in a scene, whene the VPR finishes the rendering, the viewport become all black, making it of little usage.
Second one, I have problems with the "autoscan plugins": seems i have to add ALL my external plugins manually...
Can the problem be related to my OS (WinXP 32 SP2, not officially supported by LW10) or can the VPR problem be caused by my very old graphics card (ATI X1950PRO)?
Thank You all for the advices.
Bye Bye

Update.
Resolved the plugins problem with the "scan directory" command in "edit plugins" tab. Reloaded all menus and keyshortcuts and it is all ok. :)

The VPR problem still remains. In some way is an intriguing problem. I am pretty sure is an OpenGL issue, because the graphics card is unable to mantain the last updated VPR render into the viewport, that becomes blank. But I have tried all the OpenGL settings within my "ATI Tray Tools" control Panel, included triple buffering and vsync. My ATI X1950Pro is officially supported by Newtek (Minimum LW10 requirement: ATI X1600). Really I don't know how to resolve this issue, also because if I update my version of video drivers, I encounter a bug with backdrop images in Modeler 9.6 (and I presume also in Modeler 10): the backdrop images can't be visualized greater than 1024x1024, or they became corrupted.

Any suggestions, or my VGA is getting old? :)
Thanks in advance :bowdown:
Best Regards
