302 crashes Win7 64 - Direct X

301 worked, ok at least it didn't crash Win7 with a bluescreen.

Just saw the 302 update and wanted to see if Microstation (CAD) will finally

show the cursor symbols for snaps which never worked in VM when

3D acceleration activated.

Even worse now,

after openening Microstation XM and loading a drawing, the UI starts, but as soon

as the drawing will load in their directX view, I hear the graphics card fan

accelerating. The mouse freezes and after a few seconds Win 7 crashes.

As there shouldn't be any related updates between 301 and 302, maybe latest

Windows patches cause that problem.

Meanwhile I also reinstalled VMWare tools. Doesn't seem to be any update

and it did not help either.

I mention again that Microstation runs absolutly stable on Parallels, loads

twice as fast and runs with all features, including the snap symboly on

the cursor.

Thanks,

Micha

BTW

It doesn't crash when I disable 3D acceleration, but now the view window in

Microstation switches off and on every 10 seconds anyway.

Thanks,
