3.28. Conflict with Graphics Advantage?
I am running Graphics Advantage 6.21.7 a 16bit design program along with EstiMate and my system locks up everytime I shut down. What do you suggest?
Bear in mind that whenever you are running 16bit and 32bit applications together there is the potential for conflicts and erratic behavior. The procedure below is meant as a suggestion only. EstiMate does not support Graphics Advantage and is not liable for your ability or inability to use or implement the following instruction. Proceed at your own risk. In this case the issue may lie with your hardware accelleration. Click start > settings > Control Panel > System > Performance > Graphics. Look at your hardware acceleration. If it is set all the way to the left (low) then try raising it up a notch. This should allow Graphics Advantage to co-exist with EstiMate better without compromising Graphic Advantages' ability to show thumbnails.
It has always frustrated me knowing that the computer would be far better at doing all this repetitive work if only it were properly programmed to do so. Thank goodness Mark came to the rescue with EstiMate. Prices of material are entered once and only updated when prices change. All of our overhead costs are entered only once, and are easily changed at yearend if needed. All I have to do is select the materials, tell it the size, etc., and it gives me the answer. Even better, it makes it so easy to do the "what if's". You know, the "well, what if it's only one colour?" "What if it's corrugated plastic instead of PVC?" "What if it's 18x24 instead of 24x36?" "What if I get two of them?" On and on and on. Ya gotta love it!
