Hello Everyone (or Anyone), 

I realize that Server 2003 R2 is going unsupported as of July 10th 2015.  I have what I have to work with not by choice. 

With that said, I have Draftsight 2014 installed and mostly working on my server.  I used to have DraftSight 2012 but the software was giving me issues.  Plus attempting to get the most recent that I can before there are no more upgrades for Server 2003R2.  

The issue that I am having is when I  go to open a drawing, whether I execute directly through Draftsight or browse to the drawing, I see the drawings details in the preview screen, however, when I open the drawing, I am see the tabs for the drawings but only see a black screen.  I have attempted to open multiple drawings as well as opened these drawings from another machine and I do not have these issues. 

I have also installed the most recent drive for the graphics car; which is an ATI ES1000.  I am stumped on this one.  I feel like the issue could be the graphics card, but not for sure.  I am still able to open eModels with eDrawings and I have no issues there.  So that leads me to believe that the issue is still with DraftSight itself.  Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I have provided a screen show of the drawing preview view as well as a screen shot of where I have the drawing open and only see a black screen.

 Thank you. 

Best Regards,

Chris Viste
