Question: BS have been working fine on my PC, but after:
I changed graphic card or
I updated Windows version
I have experienced some problems. Although the installation proceeds as usual, some functionalities do not operate properly. For example, the windows for colour changes do not appear as usual and are nearly impossible to handle. Also, the final drawings present some white lines along the edges of polyhedra. Do you know about such problems and how they can be overcome ?
Answer: BS (and many of other structure drawing software) is using OpenGL 3D graphics ligrary (http://www.opengl.org/). OpenGL used to be implemented well on older version of windows and many of graphic cards. However, OpenGL is not well supported on Windows and many of the graphic card vendors nowadays. In case issue is on the windows, using "XP mode" available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ might solve the problem. If the issue is on the graphic card driver, reinstalling a most recent version of the driver might solve the problem.
