![]() ![]() Whenever I try to zoom in more than a little when using the Intel display driver, the application crashes. ****UPDATE 2**** I went back to the generic display driver whenever I use Silhouette Studio. So try this fix first to see if this works for you too! The screen isn’t as fuzzy and Silhouette Studio isn’t as slow as when using the Windows Basic adapter. However on the external monitor, I just tried going back to the Intel driver, setting the text size to 100% and that also appears to be working and it seems like it may work possibly even with 125%. I left it at that even when I set up an external monitor. ![]() I had originally been using a text size set to 175% because without the external monitor I could barely read anything on the screen. ***UPDATE*** This fix may be all you need even when using the Intel driver. For instance I set the size of Text etc to higher under the Scale and Layout section: Display Settings You can tweak some of the settings through the Windows 10 Settings App. Your screen will flash and you may see a worse looking screen. Silhouette Studio Pick Basic Display Driver I had two- one was the Intel driver for my particular adapter, and the one that comes with windows 10 by default- the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. Instead Click the “Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer” option Silhouette Studio Pick Display Driverĥ) You should see the available drivers for your display adapter. Silhouette Studio Browse For Display DriverĤ) DON’T click the Browse button. If yours is up to date like mine was then you can click the “Browse my computer for drivers” option. If yours is out of date try the updating option first. You will get a message saying whether there is a new version, or the one you have is the current one. Windows Device Manager Display Adapter for Silhouette Studio CrashingĢ) Choose Update Driver Silhouette Studio Update Display Driverģ) If you haven’t tried to update your display adapter driver, you can try clicking the first option to “Search automatically for drivers”. ![]() Also NOTE that I am pretty comfortable with computer software and Operating System settings but if you are not, you may need Geek Squad or a friend/family member to help!)ġ) Go into device manager and click open the device that says “Display adapters”. Here’s what I do to switch the display adapter driver: (NOTE these instructions are for a Windows 10 machine. I set mine back to 100% and Silhouette Studio has not been crashing with this fix either! If you want to try this first scroll down to the bottom to see how to tweak the Text size. **UPDATE** I decided to give this line of reasoning a try and I think this is working just as well. Still it doesn’t seem like Silhouette is on their game when it comes to fixing this issue □. The other thing it potentially could have been is I am using an external monitor- so I can see, haha, since the laptop screen is soooooooooo small and I am old so my vision stinks! I was running with a bigger text size setting too (175%), so maybe some of that combination contributed to the crashing issue. But since I don’t have to reboot after changing the driver, I can switch from Intel to Basic whenever I want to use Silhouette Studio, and back to Intel when I am done. Now the only thing is, the Intel display adapter driver has better resolution and seems a bit faster. I have an Intel display adapter, and I remember someone commenting that they replaced theirs with the Windows basic driver (I think it might have been for a different problem, but I thought What the Hey!) That seems to have done the trick- fingers and toes crossed and knock wood!! So if you have the same problem you might want to give that a shot. I finally tried to REPLACE the display adapter driver. So what’s a girl to do?īefore you offer advice (thank you though!), I have tried every single suggestion out there- rebooted, re-installed, downgraded the software, ran the 32 bit version, deleted the folders to clear the cache and the library, turned off anti-aliasing, updated the display adapter driver, etc. However, I need my new machine in order to run Photoshop (plus it’s a bit faster) and I worry that when the old laptop dies I will need to use my new one. But using it on my newer laptop is just a daily journey into aggravation! Silhouette Studio keeps (randomly) crashing- sometimes as soon as I start doing work, sometimes I get a few minutes and then Wham! Crash! and I end up losing all my work that I didn’t save! I use my old laptop to run Silhouette Studio and send my cuts to the Curio because on that machine it just works. I use the software, Silhouette Studio quite a lot because for the things I want to do I find it easier and quicker than Inkscape or Illustrator. So as you can tell by some of my posts, I have a Silhouette machine- right now a Curio. ![]()
