Unable to fully open OSCAR on Windows PC - martinmclellan504 - 10-07-2024
Hello, I've been using OSCAR to analyse SD card without problems for several months. Today I got an error message saying there was a graphics card conflict and it would revert to and older OSCAR version. I still can't get past the initial screen, which has my Profile, Brand, name and last import date. The 5 Tabs which usually appear under the File/View/Data/Help row are reduced to Profile/Statistics(this is greyed out). I can't get past this screen to see the graphs etc. I've tried a restart, then an uninstal+restart, then a re-install and restart - all the same result. I'm seeing a Sleep Service Consultant this Wednesday and wanted to show her some of the data on the Laptop. Any advice - am I missing something simple??
Thanks

Hi martinmclellan504! -
It sounds like your graphics driver got updated. Try holding down the <SHIFT> key and start OSCAR. This will cause OSCAR to toggle to another graphics method. If this corrects your problem, do not use this method any further while staring OSCAR, or you will be back at the current driver. The reason I mention this is that some have used it each time they start OSCAR, then report that it only fixes the problem half the time.
Please keep us updated as to your success or failure.
