[w520] Autocad doesn't know my quadro 1000m

Hello!
Has anyone else problems with his W520 with the Quadro 1000M and Autocad (architecture 2011) ?
ACAD will not know my Quadro and the driver from the Autodesk homepage are not knowing my graphic card. 
The Nvideo system control knows Autocad for using the 1000m, the nVideo icon in the task bar tells that the 1000m is used by autocad but when running autocad ist can't find any 3d hardware acceleration. 
It's a liitle bit frustrating running autocad with a w520 and optimus.
thanks

Not a user of AutoCAD here, but I use Autodesk Inventor on my W520 and it works with Optimus/Discrete settings just fine. I am running the http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_drivers.html NVIDI Verde drivers.

  • W520 Graphics Upgrade Quadro 1000M - Quadro 2000M

    Does anyone know if the graphics cards in the Lenovo W520 can be upgraded? Say from a Nivida Quadro 1000M to a Nivida Quadro 2000M?  Or is graphics board hard wired into the Motherboard?
    Thanks!

    It's soldered onto the motherboard. You'd have to replace the entire system board.

  • W520 - Quadro 1000m MS Powerpoint 2010 Hanging

    Quadro 1000m Driver: 8.17.12.9635 - 3/22/2012
    Currently downloading the latest.
    Hangs during powerpoint presentation. Open powerpoint in safe mode - receive an error about a misconfigured graphics card.
    Can't change Hardware Acceleration for quadro.
    I have disabled Optimus because I had issues with duplicating. Has that been figured out yet? I will try to re-enable just to eliminate potential problems...
    Just looking to see if anyone else has come across this issue.
    I will reinstall powerpoint 2010 as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi stevosoy
    Try switch back to Optimus and installing new system drivers / BIOS through ThinkVantage System Update. Go to Control Panel > Lenovo - Update and drivers. 
    After that, try update with official drivers.

  • 3ds Max crashes using Quadro 1000M card on battery

    If I run 3ds Max 2012 on the Quadro 1000M card with the power adaptor plugged in it runs fine. If I unplug the power while the program is running, or start the program under battery power the program will run for a few seconds then freeze.
    Running under the Intel graphics works fine, however the purpose of having a workstation class laptop is to take advantage of the inproved graphics option.
    The W520 is listed as 3ds Max "certified" by Autodesk. I have all the latest Lenovo and Windows drivers, as well as the latest BIOS installed as of 1/10/2012.
    Is anyone else having issues with applications crashing while using Quadro graphics on battery power?
    Solved!

    hey Senorpablo,
    welcome to the forums
    The driver version for your Quadro is at 8.17.12.7593 ? If not update it here >> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS013693
    And bios is at 1.34 ? The update is here >> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS018884
    Since this only happens for this particular program, try reinstalling 3ds Max and when you reinstall; set your unit to diagnostic mode via msconfig before doing so.
    at the same time check with the Autodesk forum, there might be other uses who has the Quadro 1000m on their system who is experiencing the same symptom or maybe a patch is available for this.

  • I am getting this error message when trying to get to a college webpage Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (html) isn't associated with any program.

    I am trying to get to a college webpage for information and get this error message from firefox Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (html) isn't associated with any program.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == whe trying to access webpage

    Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
    Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
    so if you have html://somesite.edu,
    change it to http://somesite.edu.

  • HT4009 Hi I purchased a game app for my daughter (6 years) and noticed 2 charges of £20.98 off this app she doesn't know and I don't know what this is for as it was a free app.

    Hi I purchased a game app for my daughter (6 years old ) littlest pet shop and been charged for 2 bills of £20.98 she doesn't know and I don't know how this has happened as it was a free app ?

    Hi
    Alot of free apps offer in app purchases which has probably happened here, things for extra points scores etc etc are offered for prices which is how the app can afford to be free via the charge in other purchases within the game.
    These are the sorts on in app purchases in littlest pet shop may have been one of these?
    If you are 100% sure that no purchse was made get in touch with apple they should be able to tell you what was purchased and when then you can take it from there?
    Hope this helps

    We have a new computer and I cannot get my garmin running watch to sync with mozilla. The error message that I keep getting is"The address wasn't understood
    Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (connectagent) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
    You might need to install other software to open this address."
    Help please

    This is for a special URL that starts with
    connectagent://
    instead of with
    http://
    is that right?
    Two thoughts:
    (1) Could you try changing a setting for your Garmin plugin. Here's what I mean:
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins.
    Find your Garmin plugin change "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate".
    Your system information seems to list two different versions of a similarly named plugin. I'm not sure whether that is causing a problem.
    (2) Does Garmin's documentation specify any extra steps to set up Firefox, other than installing its add-ons?

    No, i don't. if i did i would have tried it. do you have to sign up an appled ID for iCloud? If the answer is yes then they should mention that in the set-up instructions.

  • HP Protect tool password manager not working with the new version of Mozilla: I got this alert: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program." please help

    I have an HP ProBook 4520s. I have been using HP Protect tool's Password manager to store and manage my passords for all Login websites in Firefox 3.6. As a result, I just swiped my fingerprint to log on to any website.
    After I installed the version 4 of Firefox, my all my login details do not work anymore. I have tried to reset them but I repeatedly get this error: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program."
    something like this would have been passed onto the address: "dpql://c:\program%20files%20(x86)\hewlett-packard\hp%20protecttools%20security%20manager\bin\dpminionlineids.dll/qlinkload.htm#id=2".
    Although the password manager works with Internet Explorer 9, I need it to work with Firefox 4 as this is my preferred browser.
    Please help. Thank you!

    I guess this means that IE is more user friendly for HP Password Manager finger swipe recall of passwords, a favorite of mine. I still don't see a post from Firefox as to why they haven't produced fix. So I'll switch to IE until things change. I don't see value in downgrading to a Firefox version that's no longer going to be supported.

  • Update of photoshop CC - trouble with NVIDIA Quadro 1000M display driver. PS freezes

    Hey guys,
    Since today I've got trouble with my PS CC.
    I've updated PS CC yesterday 2014-12-12.
    I was doing some drawings today and two times PS freezes during switching layers of or selecting a mask.
    A message appeared that there was trouble with the display driver an PS switched off the GPU support because of that issue.
    Ok, I thought let's update the display driver and so I've done today. I switched to actual NVIDIA display driver version 314.21
    I'm working with an NVIDIA Quadro 1000M on a DELL mobile Workstation Precision M4600 with 8 GB RAM.
    Now when I start up PS and press alt+k, my 2 displays showing a black screen for 1-2 seconds.
    After closing the general setup window again black screen for 1-2 sec and the top menu bar is showing no entries.
    When I move the mouse pointer over the bar, the menus appear again. But the bar is like transparent at the parts where no menues are.
    When I unlock the window from the screen an put it back fitting to the screen everything looks like normal.
    Till today I hadn't any problem with my notebook in that kind of way.
    Maybe someone has or had similar problems.
    Would be nice if someone can help me.
    thanks

    Oh, that sounds very bad. It's not that bad for me. It's not crashing that often at the moment, only black screens at start up or if setting dialog is opened. But I will see tomorrow how often it will crash, during today it crashed 2 times when doing some ridiculous simple actions like switchid to another layer  and the other time when trying to edit an mask layer. I will contact the support chat on monday regarding this issue. Maybe there is a solution or an update soon... I keep may fingers crossed for you.

    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • I downloaded Newest mozilla yesterday, adobe updated, and now when I click a YouTube video I get a box saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program." and can't watch any videos?

    I downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox yesterday, full and complete, and I am actually using it right now. The only problem I have had is upon clicking any YouTube video, the box pops up saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program." But there are no directions or suggestions on how to address this problem. Ive looked at YouTube add-ons and none of them really seem related. Upon the finish of the new Mozilla, I also was prompted to upgrade the flash player, and did so without any trouble. I am only guessing this is an extension/plug-in problem. I really am quite confused!
