Hi!
Capture Polar is using graphics at a high level and your computer needs to be in good shape! Here is some useful information:
- Do not install Capture from a network drive or stand alone drive.
- Be sure to have administration rights when installing.
- When you start Capture Polar for the first time a message will tell if Capture is running in 2005 mode. You can change this setting in the Tools menu, Options / Visualization.
Recommended hardware for PC´s with Windows when using Capture Polar:
- Minimum 1 GB RAM (the more, the better)
- An NVidia graphics cards (ATI does not support this kind of graphics so far) with a minimum of 512 MB VRAM (note, it's not the same as the computer's RAM)
- Windows XP or Vista
For optimal performance of Capture (in this order)
- Run Disc Cleanup, Ccleaner is a useful free alternative:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner select "Download Latest Version" - Get the latest drivers to your graphic card. Use both Windows Update AND the manufacturer's download site.
- Defragment your harddrives, right-click on your HD (typically C:) select Properties / Tools / Defragmentation and run it even if you get the message that you don´t need to.
