    Default Display Error in Revit

    I'm getting a Revit 2104 Display Error. Here is a screen shot of it:




    I'm running it on this type of machine: HP-G71 340US, 8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit. Although the video card doesn't meet Revit's standards, it has run in the past with Revit 2014. This error has come up once before and then it just started to work one day. This error comes up when opening pretty much any file.

    Any suggestions?

    Found the solution. I went into the options in Revit 2014, on the Graphics tab, I deselected the Use hardware acceleration; and now it works just fine.

    Problem solved.

    Forgive me for asking the dumb question, but why is it every time there's an issue with a graphics display, the hardware acceleration is the first thing that gets turned off. Seem like this "feature" shouldn't even be there. I have no real idea what it's supposed to do, all I Know is that even if you have a certified graphics card, you still don't want to select that option. Can anyone at Adesk provide a real answer to this question? Seems to me it was the same thing with Autocad. If it's a display issue, turn of the "feature" that supposed to make you more productive. It just doesn't make sense.
