ok so that one is an old version which you probably had before updating to the latest. So something else is wrong, if it was working before and the same version no longer works, I'm starting to think that maybe the video driver 3D settings have changed. But let me ask, when you try these different version I sent you, do you double click on the ROF file?

I think I have before but this lasts one 4.10 I put in sketchup15/plugins/raylectron. When I started rayelectron from sketchup I got dialogue box asking me if I wanted to run or cancel. I clicked run and the model started exporting ect.

oh, we may be on to something. The files I sent you that are exe, I should have explained, but the way to test is to unzip it to your desktop and then double click on the Raylectron.exe file you just unzipped and then go to File/Open and then select the ROF file to test if it works!

No luck. I gave up and installed CPU version on there. It sounds like the new CPU version you are working on is going to be pretty fast so I look forward to that.

The CPU version is quite fast and in some cases even faster than the GPU, especially on larger scenes.

If you are up to it, I'd like to use TeamViewer which will give me access to your screen so I can run a few test. TeamViewer has a free version and it allows me to see your desktop and to use my mouse and keyboard as if I was next to you, you can see everything I do and you can also use your mouse and keyboard. This is the fastest way to get it working.

That AMD driver still causing problems on a bigger model. I was able to do smaller model with no problem but it crashes with bigger one.

no. it crashed the machine once and then a couple of times I just got the spinning blue circle and saying program not responding. AMD had a pop up one time that said driver failed but was recovered.

There could be a number things. The textures for example, if they are too big, I usually don't use more than 1024 for the width or height, too many grass blades, all that add up to the memory. I don't know how much video RAM is on card but it shouldn't crash, should give you an error message, like out of video memory. How many faces does the model that crash has?

Its huge with a lot of grass. I would say 5,000,000 faces. CPU version handles with ease but I am running 12MB ram

With that many faces + textures + kdtree + face data, normal, vertices etc. it's taking quite a bit of memory, and if you have only 2GB it's not enough, and 4GB might be at the limit. Your monitor also uses video memory to display your desktop and all. You could install both, the CPU and GPU and select which to use depending on how large your model is.
