Graphics - intermittently loosing 3D rendering or getting random blocks

I have a problem with my Labview 7.1 runtime application that may be actually be a Windows, Video Driver or PCAnywhere problem but I am checking in the Labview forum in case it is actually a Labview issue or others have seen this.
I have several remote monitoring systems, based on standard Industrial PCs with Windows 2000 each with their own local kvm display. I connect to these systems daily to collect data, check and develop the software. I use PCAnywhere for the flexibility, but lately I have upgraded to PCAnywhere 11.5 and I have been experiencing problems with the video graphics, that are mirrored on the local display. Firstly the 3D graphics looses its nicely rendered edges and looks like a very low res, low colour. This is not always cleared by changing the display settings. It just doesn't look so good but the display is still readable. A worse problem that occurs is that the display converts into random blocks, obviously based on the original screen but not coherent. Both problems appear to start when the connection is made and may clear up randomly or need a complete reset to be cleared.
Advice so far has been that we need the latest video drivers but we believe we have them.
Has any of these issues been reported by other Labview users?
Thanks
Lucy

It seems to me that the graphics compression algorithms of PCanywhere take some shortcuts to save bandwidth. I am not familiar with pcanywhere, but maybe you can change some compression settings if you have a fast connection.
(Personally I am using VNC (e.g. tightVNC) and the settings are quite adjustable).

  • Getting random blocks of black pixels in blue areas of image.

    For no apparent reason I am opening images where there would be a blue background, and getting blocks or streaks of black pixels. Using CS 5. How do I prevent or correct? Thanks, Jim.

    Thank you, that corrected the problem. In a screen shot you would have seen just random scattered blocks of black pixels in place of blue. The blue could be any shade of blue. Can you please explain why disabling the OpenGL Drawing option corrected the problem? Is it primarily a function of incompatability with Photoshop and my video card? Finally am I just primarily sacrificing speed if I were working in 3D. Thanks for any information you may have since it is obvious you know what's going on. Jim

  • Why does pre-rendered footage get re-rendered again for every playback or preview?

    Dear Sir/Mdm,
    I'm a novice, please bear with me.
    I'm using an Asus laptop with:
         1. CPU: Intel i5-3337U @ 1.80 GHz (4 CPUs)
         2. OS: Windows 8.1 64 bits (6.3, Build 9600)
         3. RAM: 8 GB
         4. DirectX: Version 11
         5. On-board Graphics: Intel HD 4000
         6. Dedicated Graphics:  GeForce GT 740M
         7. Dedicated video memory: 2048 MB DDR3
         8. Nvidia Driver version: 6.14.13.3523
         9. Total available graphics memory: 4096 MB
    I hoped to avoid repeated rendering of footage segments during RAM previews, scrub-through, or playbacks.
    I pre-composed related layers of completed segments and pre-rendered the pre-comp, which gave a footage (in AVI format) to replace the pre-comp.
    But when I scrub-through, playback (spacebar), or do RAM previews, the pre-rendered footage gets re-rendered again (for every scrub-through/preview/playback).
    Need advice.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the responses and apologies for the slow reply (I spent some time following-up on the clues from the kind responses and did a more focused reading of AE's Help page based on the clues).
    To answer Mr Szalam's questions:
         I'm using AE CS6 version 11.0.4.2
         Memory settings:
              Installed RAM: 7.9 GB
              RAM Reserved for other applications: 2 GB
              RAM Available for AE: 5.9 GB
              [Not selected] Reduce cache size when system is low on memory
         Previous Multiprocessing settings:
              Installed CPUs: 4
              CPUs reserved for other applications: 1
              RAM allocation per background CPU: 1.5 GB
              Actual CPUs that will be used: 0
         Current Multiprocessor settings: [Not selected] (due to advice given in the responses)
    Copy that on the RAM part. Time for a little hardware upgrade :-)
    For Mr/Mdm bogiesan's advice, thanks. Now I know more of what to look out for in simplifying future projects. For this current case, the pre-dendered movie-layer is the only layer-segment as I intended it to be a completed segment in the hope of avoiding repeated renders ... alas, it didn't turn out the way I hoped ... oh well :-)
    For Mr Dave La Ronde's advice, copy that. I've disabled multiprocessing. Indeed, I'm using sub-par hardware for the intended purposes.
    To sum up:
    From AE's Help-pages:
    1.  "If you have a nested composition ... you can save time during each rendering operation by pre-rendering the nested composition ..."
         Takeaway: Re-rendering will occur under all situations, be it a plain movie-layer, effects-applied movie-layer, etc. Pre-rendering was designed to save time on nested compositions only (i.e. re-rendering nested compositions take longer than re-rendering the pre-rendered version of the nested composition). 
    2. "The rendering of a movie is the frame-by-frame rendering of each of the frames that make up the movie.".
         Takeaway: Even plain-movies get re-rendered. Since pre-rendered movies are the same as imported movies, everything gets re-rendered without exception.
    Although Premiere Pro CS6 seems to handle movie footages with transition-effects more smoothly (e.g. during scrub-through), but I guess AE CS6 has much more to keep track of if it needs to tell the difference between a plain-movie and an effects-applied one ... perhaps a more optimized approach is indeed to render everything without exception. Perhaps a dedicated no-render-layer-slot can help AE to decide what not to render (i.e. anything dragged into such a no-render-layer will never be rendered) ... but that's just from a novice hobbyist's limited-knowledge perspective (I'm not a professional effects artist, which may be obvious from the sub-par hardware I use ... I bought the Teachers and Students Edition of CS6, which was kindly offered by Adobe at a steep discount ... and I use it to satisfy my curiosity of how those stuff-of-dreams sort of movie-effects are created ... for now, I'm only able to play with basic video montages :-)
    Thanks for all the responses. Case closed as AE seems to be designed to render everything without exception.

  • Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

    Hi I have just upgraded my computer to Mac OSX 10.6.7 now I cant open my FCE 4. Message reads, Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

    Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.

  • I get random "Mario Bros" sound clips playing when I open Firefox.

    I get random "Mario Bros" sound clips playing when I open Firefox.
    == This happened ==

    More like whoever coded the add-on is an idiot. Google used a brilliant piece of HTML5 to bring the iconic Pacman to the masses for its 30th Anniversary, and not only do people not recognize its ubiquitous sounds, people are annoyed at Google and Firefox, not the creators of the add-on.
    No one did this on purpose, and the ones at fault are the ones who coded the Add-on. Now shut up, your problem is fixed.

  • Laptop Keyboard problem, some keys get randomly ignored

    Hello,
    This is a problem that occurs with all razer blade notebooks when running linux (does not occur in Windows 8); some keys get randomly ignored when you type at your normal speed, and it is very frustating especially when typing passwords or programming. At the moment we have to type very slowly in order to get all keystrokes caught. The keyboard has antighosting technology, maybe that info is useful.
    This is the further we went in this post:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161634
    In that post, a forum partner proposed to modify "drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c" and set "interval = 1;" right after the mouse pooling interval was set, around line 1134 of the file. When we use that modified kernel, the keyboard feels a little better but i still get ignored keys when typing at normal speed.

    Does anyone know, based on their experience, what could be the cause of the keyboard malfunction?
    Does this type of error occur for some other notebooks too?
    It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction for where to look.

    For all i know (Not a lot) I'm thinking it might have something to do with your usb?(Worst answer ever!)
    Did you try a different port.
    Please let me know if this worked .

    Hi. Well in this case the problem is with the Razer Blade Laptop's keyboard, therefore i cannot choose another port. You gave me an idea however, i will try to get any usb keyboard, plug it into the razer blade and make sure it works so that i can discard any major problem.

  • Getting random LCK_M_SCH_M on convert and bulk insert task

    I starting getting random LCK_M_SCH_M locks with huge wait time, which hung my etl proccess.
    The ssis package runs like this:
    I have 4 containers that run in parallel and do the same thing:
    -Convert a tab delimited file from unicode->utf8
    -Truncate the table (within a foreach loop)
    -Bulk insert the data
    Also transactionoption is set to NotSupported.
    What could be causing the lock?
    All foreach loops do not overlap ragarding tables/files.
    Do they contest somehow?
