Dear all,
I have just downloaded rhino 6 evaluation and I see 4 black viewports which I couldn’t navigate or orbit through, even when I maximize a viewport, that is what I receive.
Could any one please help, is it the new windows 10 problem or the VGA hardware
My card is NVIDIA geforce GT540 M
Hi,
Can you paste the system info here from the Help - System Information menu?
This will make McNeel team address your issue in better way.

If nothing is plugged into that old Intel 3000, maybe you can disable it in Device Manager.
Then update the drivers for your Nvidia GeForce card.
That’s a very old computer and the GeForce has less than the minimum recommended amount of VRAM for V6.
I suspect this would have worked pretty well for Rhino V6.
If you’re serious about V6, you need a new computer that meets https://www.rhino3d.com/6/system_requirements.
Sorry
Many thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it.
