SU 2019 failing to load...

[utiler]

Hi guys, anyone experiencing SketchUp 2019 Pro not loading??

It started on the weekend when I clicked on the screen icon; it begins loading but then drops out close to opening up the interface.

I haven't loaded anything extra of late that could be an issue; any ideas?

What graphics card? Possible automatic graphics driver update?

You might try repairing the SketchUp installation just in case. Find the downloaded installer exe, right click on it and choose Run as administrator. Then when the options are presented, choose Repair.

Did you install SU2019 by right clicking on the installer and choosing Run as administrator?

Thanks Dave, hope you're well mate.
I did run a repair on the program but without luck. [sorry, I should have mentioned that in my intro post].
Running a GeForce GTX1070 so I'll have a look at any updates that are needing to be done.

Cheers!!

Hmmmm.... Make sure that the GTX1070 is set to be the one SketchUp uses. Look in the Nvidia control panel. The fact that the behavior just changed makes me think that an automatic Windows update got pushed and it set the integrated Intel graphics as the default. We've seen this before.

All is well here. Spring has finally come. I think. There was accumulating snow a little west of here last week so it's hard to tell. Hope you and your family are well.

Updated the driver, Dave and all seems well now. Thanks for the troubleshoot.
Winter is on our doorstep over here but our winter is cool nights and warm summer days really.... Wish for some snow at time!!

Excellent on the driver update thing. I'm glad that helped.

We had a lot of snow back in February and March. I'd have gladly shipped it to you if I could.
