Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
Ok it's not the Nvida card that is the problem. As after removing it I started Map tool and had the exact same problem.
How did I find out what my intergrated Graphics is as I think that may indeed be the problem.

Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
Depending on the motherboard, you may be able to disable the integrated card in the bios. If you have the drivers installed for that card you may want to uninstall before disabling in the bios.

Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
The thing is until I went to disable my Nvida I had no idea I had an integrated Card. I don't know how I would I go about this.aliasmask wrote:Depending on the motherboard, you may be able to disable the integrated card in the bios.

Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
When you turn on the computer, there is some stuff that appears on the screen. There will probably be a note to the effect of "Press <F12> for setup" or "Press <F12> for BIOS" (or, if it's a new computer, likely UEFI) or something along those lines. It will scroll by quickly, so pay close attention. If it's a brand name computer (like Dell or HP), you can probably find the correct key to press from Google. If not, you need to know what the make and model of the motherboard is, or catch it on the boot screens.
That will get you to the hardware set up, where you can do things like disable the integrated video. Be very, very careful there, as you can make changes that will keep the computer from booting, or degrade performance in running high end games. (There is a way to reset the BIOS to the factory settings, but if this computer was set up to run computer games that need high frame rates, etc., it may not be on default settings now. So be very, very careful.)

I don't really want to try that yet. Is there a way to detect my integrated graphics.

Right click on the windows start button and select Display Adapters. You will see what card you're using.
At any rate, disabling the card in your boot BIOS is what you're going to need to do to eliminate it as a possible problem. That said, it's probably set for something like "Auto Detect" where it's not on if you have another active card in the system... so I'm not sure it has anything to do with anything... unless you've been using it the whole time.

Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
If you know what motherboard you have, I will Google it
I see others are already on the case, that is the disadvantage of replying using your phone

I don't see an option for Display Adapters. Unless I go under Device Manager. Under that my Nvidia Card is the only thing.Full Bleed wrote:If you've removed your graphics card you're using the integrated graphics card.Envyus wrote:I don't really want to try that yet.

This is all a confusing mess.
Uggh I don't know whats wrong or how to fix it.

Yes it's confusing, in part because I feel like we're getting conflicting information.Ok it's not the Nvida card that is the problem. As after removing it I started Map tool and had the exact same problem.

You said you "removed your graphics card". There is no way you're seeing it in the Device Manager if you did.
If you remove your graphics card, that made us think that you were *now* using on-board/integrated graphics.
Do you even have a graphics card? Or are you plugging your monitors into ports that are a part of the motherboard (i.e. using the integrated graphics)?
What did you mean when you said you "removed" the Nvidia card?

Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
I find the memory values worrying.
8 physical but only 3 available? Is that a Windows 10 thing?
I am inclined to think that previously your nvida card was not installed correctly and perhaps the on-board card was/is eating into available memory.
Unless you were running an application that needed 5G?

Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
Not too worried about that. Using 4.9 of 16 on my computer with very little running (half of that seems like it might be cache or something). Windows processes are less than 500m. I'm using 2 gig in Firefox and MT.Jagged wrote:I find the memory values worrying.

And if he is using an integrated graphics card it might be using a couple gigs* of system memory as well (depending on the card).
*Edit to fix syntax... megs... gigs... all the same! Caught it on the quote below.

Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
That's what I was suggesting. I don't think he had taken the nvida card out at the stage he took those readings. So if the nvida card was plugged in and the memory was still being eaten, then it can't be disabled.Full Bleed wrote: And if he is using an integrated graphics card it might be using a couple megs of system memory as well (depending on the card).
Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
Oh I just uninstalled the Nvidia stuff. I did not actually remove the card from my computer.
Re: Odd glitch with Maptool
Uhhh. And it appears to have magically fixed itself. Nothing is going wrong with maptool right now. But I am not going to celebrate yet.
