Vectorworks 2022 crashes on startup

[Jeremie Bretin]

Hi ,

 

I have recently got a student licence for Vectorworks and I have downloaded the software on my PC laptop. 

 

For any reason, Vectorworks keeps crashing each time I try to open it. There is no message displayed, Vectorworks simply starts opening and suddenly crashes. I haven't been able to use it so far... 

Any tip/recommendation/advice would be very welcome 

 

Cheers,

If you have a third-party/aftermarket antivirus program installed and did not disable it before you installed Vectorworks, then: If none of these other suggestions resolve this for you, then uninstall then reinstall Vectorworks with your antivirus off. 

 

Check that your computer meets the System Requirements. Given that crashes occur during startup, ensure your operating system is supported and that your graphics card driver is no less than 6 months old. 

 

Also worth checking for software conflicts. See the following article for info on conditions/software that are known to cause Vectorworks 2022 to crash.
