    Hey guys, I'm having trouble starting Solidworks 2010 with the 335m video card. The program hangs on the boot screen. The program does open however when I specify it to start with the integrated video card. What could be causing the program not to work the the nvidia card and what can I do to fix it?

    Does Solid Works run on non-Quadro/FireGL cards?

    SolidWorks does not officially support GeForce video cards... only Quadro cards.

    You could try using things like hacked drivers to get it to work, but there is no guarantee. The nVidia 335M is not officially supported, so there is no easy magic bullet that will get it to work
