Topic: plzzz help sky in lumion (urgent)

[arch.amr]

i have read the topic in which u delete the sky.cgr and other things
if i used the lumion without deleting any thing it doesn't work and a sign appears thats the driver has stopped working then recovered 
i have intel gma 4500m hd
it has a shared system memory 1240MB
and the prog never works
when i delete the sky.cgr the prog. works fine but there is no sky .. and whitout it u cant use the prog it just a black screen ..but when u add objects u can see them fine but it is still a black background
some1 told me that it is a windows problem and i use windows 7 ulimate
he told me to download win 7 professional by other means it is a windows problem not a driver and my driver is fine 

did any one have a similar problem & what can i do to make the lumion work with sky ??

i have core2due i5  .... 4 G ram

Your GPU is integrated? shares memory with machine?

I'm gonna guess that your laptop is just not good enough for Lumion, I'd say only a laptop with a dedicated GPU will run Lumion.

yes it shares memory with the machine
but it is 1240MB doesnt it make any difference

if so my only solution is to add an external graphic card (dedicated)
and it is not a windows problem!!

I do not believe you can add a gpu to a laptop (it is a laptop right?)

And no,  I do not believe it's a Windows problem.

Intel integrated is not real GPU and unfortunately you can't insert a gpu in a laptop. Lumion requires a good GPU so you either have to find a desktop with a good gpu or a laptop with a good gpu. I often use an asus G73 for Lumion and it works very well.

i hav hp pavilon dv7 with integrated graphics 2gb and hav the same problem~! i deleted the sky and it goes black!wat to do?

You might try using the Low Memory Mode and see if that helps. 

I don't know how to delete a sky?

Laptops with a dedicated GPU (of sufficient power) = good, laptops with integrated graphics = sort of OK to run Word
