Good day, I need some advice.

I work with Revit 2014 for a few years on teh same laptop, whithout any issues. This week I've installed Adobe After Effects, and since then, everytime I run After Effects, mty revit respond whith the error  {An error has occurred while drawing the contents of this window}

Now, it can be resolved by unticking the Direct3D option, but that make my revit slow, and graphics poor. Rhe error resolve whith a restart, until I run After effects again. 

Any help or idea how to treat this perhaps? I have updated my graphic card drivers with no joy

Kind Regards,

Johan

things to try....

Check to see you GPU is on the Gestapo's approved list.

Turn Hardware Acceleration to whatever it is not now.

If it happens while one 3D view window is active, delete the window.

Audit & Detach, Purge, remove all extraneous stuff like linked DWGs, redundant images etc.

Change Windows Display setting to whatever is not now. eg. smaller text, apps etc

Dumb down windows settings to increase performance.

Clean out temp folder and local folder.

Apply all the Revit 2014 updates.

Upgrade to Revit 2015 or even 2016.

Free up RAM where you can. Add RAM.

Only use one software at a time.

Get a faster computer.

I like your logic - get a faster computer  

Thanks for the reply. Well, I have a Core I5 whith 8 Gig RAM and 2 Gig Geforce dedicated card. I doubt the pc is too slow. Besides, Revit work well all the time, whithout any issues, ecxept when I start After Effects. It seems like Direct3D is being affected by After Effects. ( I have tried to run After effects whith the on on board graphics card, while Revit run with the Geforce, and so far no problems....)
