Installed v10 on an i5 laptop with 4 gigs ram. Windows 7 sp1 64 bit. V10 seems to work fine until I open internal capture. I get a black workspace box that states an error with capture and then the program freezes. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!!

Check you have the latest display adapter drivers.

Yes the display adapter is up to date

I'm in front of the laptop and the capture says error in capture component

What is the display adapter?

In device manager under display adapters it reads "Intel(R) HD Graphics"
Driver version 8.15.10.2202
Thanks

I can only think that it is not powerful enough. Capture relies on the video card performance, the faster the better. I have a machine here with HD Graphics 4600 which seems to cope ok although it will quickly give up if I try and run Capture Atlas with any sort of high quality settings. But unfortunately I think the 'HD Graphics' is significantly slower.

Well that stinks. Hoping to get a surface pro soon. Any thoughts on the performance of these?

I guess it depends on the exact model/specs. According the options for the Pro 4 theoretically the integrated graphics look ok, especially if you have the 'iris' types although none of them appear to meet Capture's suggestion for minimum performance requirement of a PassMark G3D of 2000. However, as Capture point out the actual requirements will vary - the HD 4600 I have here doesn't get anywhere near 2000 but works ok. It might be worth asking on the Capture forum if anyone else is having success running Argo on a Surface.
