OpenGL not available in AEF CS3, although graphicscard supports OpenGL 2.1

Hello all,
I have a IBM Thinkpad R61 (notebook) with a nVidia Quadro NVS 140M graphics card (which supports Direct X 10 and OpenGL 2.1 according to nVidia. Running on Vista. After Effects CS3 version 8.0.2.27.
So far the tech info.
My problem is that even though my graphics card supports OpenGL After Effects says the graphics card doesn't support it. On the preferences > Preview tab I can't turn OpenGL on. And according to the OpenGL info button a OpenGL supporting Graphics Card can't be found. Graphic Drivers may require an update it says. But my drivers are completely up to date. Tried updating through windows update, and through the Lenovo / IBM upgrade utility, but it can't seem to find more recent drivers.
Does anybody have a solution for this?

It's not so much that you are bound to the manufacturer's branding and versions, but the pertinent functions may simply have been disabled for safety reasons. With notebooks, anything can happen and it's part of the marketing policy and why some of them are so pricey. I recommend you take this up directly with Lenovo support via phone or official support requests on the web. There may be a driver that releases the functions, but it may be considered too unstable for public release. They may give you access to it, but ask of you that you hold no liabilities against them in case something goes wrong. Other than that you can always try RivaTuner/ SoftQuadro which will coerce your system into thinking it has a different card by adjusting some driver settings. This is of course also all on you own risk.

    Has the ISP modems and routers been power cycled then tested again? 
    Possible ISP connection issues or LinksysSmartWiFi.com service outage maybe...
    Are FW versions on all routers up to date? 
    To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following: Download the FW file from the support site first.
    Disable the auto update feature on the router. <If this was on, possible someting was updated recently. I recommend leaving this OFF.
    1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
    2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
    3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
    4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.

  • Fonts Not Available in Photoshop CS3 (Windows 7)?

    Hello,
    My desktop computer crashed yesterday and I had to run out last night and pick up a new unit as I'm trying to meet a number of deadlines (and not having much luck getting the work done in my laptop).
    The new computer uses Windows 7 as the Operating System.  It has already presented a ton of headaches... I've already spent in excess of ten hours trying to reinstall hardware and dealing with the various quirks that arise.
    The latest of these issues is that I cannot seem to access some fonts from Photoshop CS3.  I'm having the same issue, to a lesser extent, in Illustrator 10.
    For instance, after downloading the Helvetica and Helvetica Neue families in Windows 7, they do not appear in the Type menu in Photoshop.  There are a ton of useless pre-installed fonts there, but not the ones I installed.  If I try to access them from Illustrator, it displays only one weight of each typeface (for instance, it displays Helvetica Neue 65 but omits 55, 75, 95, etc....).
    The issue does not occur for all fonts.  For instance, I installed AvantGarde and it displays just fine.  In that instance, the fonts were TrueType whereas the Helvetica font files are Type 1 font files.
    Can anyone help?  I've already lost a day-and-a-half of work, and can't afford to spend much more time screwing around with this nonsense.

    Bill,
    Thanks for your thoughtul and thorough reply.
    To clarify, I do have a copy of ATM, but just have not installed it on my XP computer or this new one.  It is on my Illustrator 10 install disk.  Not sure if it will work on Windows 7, as Illustrator 10 would not run on the new computer until I set the compatibility to work with Vista and earlier.  I suppose that I could install it and see if it works.  Might be worth a shot.
    I will check out the software titles you referenced.
    With regard to font installation on Windows 7, there are three techniques as far as I can tell.  They are:
    1) Drag and drop method: Works the same as it always has.  Simply drag the typefaces into the Fonts folder or Control Panel > Fonts.
    2) You can navigate to where a font file is located (the desktop, for instance) and then right-click on it and choose "Install."  This is what I referred to previously, and I tried it after drag-and-drop did not work.
    3) For the third method (according to Windows 7 documentation I found online at http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/324ecdc6-8574-4527-8099- efc430bf550f), you are supposed to be able to go into the Control Panel > Fonts, press ALT (to display the menu) and then choose File > Install New Font.  You would then be prompted to navigate to the typeface you want to install.  However, this option is not available on my computer.  When I tried it, I can access the File menu, but "Install New Font" is not listed on the dropdown.

  • Safari 4.0.1 not available as a dmg download from Support Downloads page

    Generally all downloads available via Software Update are themselves available via the Support Download page http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    I note that as of this morning (Perth Western Australia time) Safari 4.0.1 is still not yet listed. Is that common for Apple to miss adding updates to that page?
    Chris

    Yep, I know that Software Update does that. My point is that every update I have ever applied is normally always available as an installer on the Support Download page. I'm a bit gun shy of Software Update having experienced some problems in the past and choose to apply all my updates after downloading them from the Support Download page. Call me a bit paranoid if you like but once burned forever careful. It's just odd that Safari 4.0.1 is conspicuous by its absence on that page.

  • OpenGL not available on MacPro ATI X1900 XT 512MB with CS4?

    Hi,
    i have a MacPro (2x2 2.66GHz, OSX 10.5.4) with 12GB RAM and a ATI X1900 XT 512MB graphic card (ROM: 113-A52027-202) and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.
    When opening CS4 preferences i can NOT enable the OpenGL Drawing. The feature is greyed out. Under "Detected video card" stands nothing - no card detected. I read the TechNote from Adobe but could not locate any problem. The computer, the graphic card and the driver are up-to-date. (TechNote: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.doexternalId=kb404898#driverversion).
    I even tried the "AllowOldGPUS.plugin" from Adobe without any change.
    Do others have this problem too? Any idea what to change?
    Thank you very much.

    PShock you are correct I must have been an older model Radeon card I was thinking of but clearly you are correct.
    <br />
    <br />The Blackmagic Intensity and Intensity Pro is not a graphic or display car it is a dedicated Video in and Video out card for capturing HDV and also analog to HDV as well as displaying on a Video Monitor as you capture and edit.
    <br />
    <br />It will not be listed under Display and Graphics in the system profile but rather in the PC slot area.
    <br />
    <br />It has no effect on the Open GL mechanism.
    <br />
    <br />I have it installed as I wrote along side of my Nvidia 880 and it work fine with open GL in PS 4 nothing different what so ever.
    <br />
    <br />Although the poster does not state what kind of Blackmagic card?
    <br />
    <br />Even so I do not see how it could possibly interfere.
    <br />
    <br />here you can see for yourself it is two different types of cards.

  • Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

    I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
    I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
    I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
    So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
    Please someone help ...
    Thanks.

    Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

  • Date of last extraction from DataSource 0HR_PY_PP_2 is not available

    Hello all,
    We are using this data source to extract data for HR in BW. We are currently on BI 7.0
    When I used this datasource in BW development system it worked fine. But now I am trying to extract data using the same datasource in BW QA system and I am getting this error.
    "Date of last extraction from DataSource 0HR_PY_PP_2 is not available     HR_BIW_PP"
    The datasource is delta supported so I am trying to init it, and thats when I am getting this error.
    Has anyone seen this message before, can some give some suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Just quick check, check rsa3 if you can get any data and  also it seems like it is complaining about changes in extract structure, can you compare the extract structure of the two system manually? If you have made changes to the extract structure, did you move that change in the source system? Sometimes it worth it to replicate the datasource and reactivate the transfer structure using program RSActiTran.
    thanks.

  • Why is QuickTime suddenly "not available" in CS3?

    While trying to embed a video into a document, I recieve an error message saying QuickTime isn't available. I've uninstalled and reinstalled QuickTime, which now works -- it will run video independently of InDesign. But when I try to place a video or embed one into a frame, I see this error message. The diologue box will not allow me to browse for a video (the button is grayed out). I'm using a farily new setup, InDesign CS3 on a Windows 7 64-bit platform.
    Is there a setting to allow InDesign to "see" Quicktime? Apple and Microsoft forums have been no help.

    Yes, I have the very latest Quicktime download from Apple. This worked fine until our computers were upgraded to Windows 7. But the Windows site says Quicktime is fully compatible with 7. I've uninstalled both Quicktime and InDesign and reinstalled, several times. The popup window simply says "Failed because QuickTime is not available." Our IT person says all the programs are installed in the proper folders. This has cost me three days of productivity and I'm at a loss. Is there a setting in InDesign to reconnize third-party apps like QuickTime? 

  • Thumbnails in Bridge CS3 for ACR 4.6 not available

    I have a problem, that I can open raw files per double click, but I dont get a preview in Bridge for my Canon EOS 50D.
    Also if I use the mouse button open in camera raw is not available. If I use open from the menu, the raw is opened in ACR 4.6 correctly.
    Also purging the chache was no success
    ANy tipps?
    I reinstalled until now two times without any success

    Hi Jim,
    I will check if I have another version in place. Maybe now I get a problem because I use Bridge for viewing the new pictures, classifying by tags. For searches later on I have Photoshop elements because of it´s fast database. For PSE I now need Version 7 with Camera Raw 5.2, for Bridge and CS3 (more complex actions for improving my pictures) I had to install ACR 4.6.
    From Bridge I can open the pictures with "open" and 4.6 appears before entering CS3. But in Bridge the option "open with camera raw" is not available.
    Hopefully I only have 2 ACR 4.x versions in the CS3 directories. This would be easy to solve. Otherwise it seems to get more and more enerving to find the error.

  • Getting error on imac at time of loading photoshop CS3 plugin - "One or more plugins currently not available on you system"

    Hi,
    I am getting below error message while loading photoshop plugin on intel mac os 10.5.7 in photoshop CS3.
    "One or more plugins are currently not available on you system. For details, see  Help -> System info"
    In System info it is giving error as
    "Plug-ins that failed to load:
       Dissolve NO VERSION -  - from the file “/Applications/Adobe CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/Filters/Dissolve.plugin/”
    I have build this code with Xcode v3.0 & selected settings build configuration as "i386".
    Is there any CS3 SDK updated need for intel mac or any build settings need to be done in xcode?
    Same plugin is working well on emac, but giving above mentioned error on intel mac.
    Please let me know if anyone have any idea about this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like a PiPL issue, can you show us your definition?

  • Color Adjust Filter and Paint Bucket not available in CS3

    I recently noticed that Colors in the Filter menu is not available in my install of Illustrator CS3. I also noticed that the Paint Bucket tool is missing. Both appear to be in the Plug-ins folder in their respective folders (Illustrator Filters and Tools) but are not available in the program. I am using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 on a PowerPC G4 running at 1.6 GHz with 1 GB of SDRAM. I have the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium package.
    There may be other problems with my install, but these are the two things I notices. Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and how to fix it? I tried a re-install, but to no avail.

    Basically yes, but not quite. You may want to review the new features. The paint bucket was removed because it was, well, pointless in most cases. THe Live Paint tool is much more useful than the old Paint Bucket.

  • Photoshop CS3 Disk not Available

    I have several users who when trying to print in Photoshop get an error message saying Could not print <filename> because the disk is not available.  Other users can access the printer with no issues when printing to the same printer with the same file.  The issue does go away if Photoshop is closed and then opened again.  Anyone else encounter issues like this?<br /><br />Equipment:<br />Mac Pro (Early 2008)<br />OS X 10.5.2<br />Adobe Design CS3 Premium<br />10GB Ram<br />320GB drive

    I have a similar issue in my mac lab. We are using CS3 with Intel Core Duo iMacs.<br />I can print to all printers from all applications with one exception. When I send a job to the color laserjet 5550 through Photoshop, I get the Could not print <filename> because the disk is not available error. However, if I preview the image first, I can then print the job. All other CS3 apps print to the 5550 without error.<br />The printers are managed with Workgroup manager.<br />All clients and the xserve are running 10.4.11.<br />I have another lab of G5's and they CAN print to this device through photoshop.<br />I have repaired permissions and reinstalled the app without success.<br />All of the clients are built from a source image. This original build or source for my image does print to the 5550. I only get the error after imaging.<br />Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
