It's been quite awhile since i've been on here, but I have a rather strange issue I'd like to see if anyone can help me with.

I upgraded my machine to Windows 7 recently and I went back to continue some work on some maps i've made, and the editor seems to
load up just fine, however the (F7) renderview keys don't work. Meaning I can't get the editor view window to show lighting...

Now i've been working with the id engines for awhile so i'm familiar with the basics :P. Any Thoughts on this one guys? I'm not sure if it was a driver update for my 8800 GTX that did it, or what but its really frustrating not to be able to work with the lighting on :P.

hmm gonna try that trick now :P thx for the tip :)



edit: Nope tried deleting the editor.cfg file and restarted... with no luck. Basically its like it won't render lighting in the editor at all.. just freezes in the display window when i hit F7.... its very strange and annoying as I've spent years with the editor and I don't want to have to hose my machine and go back to WinXP.... :(

Disable Windows Aero, see if you have Lights selected in Show menu. (That's why WinXP is the best xP)
