[TRNSYS-users] help - best configuration

[lucas.lira at scottish-southern.co.uk]

Dear All,

I tried to find this information on line without success.
I'm using TRNSYS in a project research and the department is planning to 
buy me a new computer, a laptop. I've had problems with some components 
features in Windows Vista (my personal laptop) but none in the XP that I 
am currently using. Is there any testing with the new windows 7 and any 
problem recorded? One of the problems was, for example, when working with 
the storage tank type 534 from TESS library, whenever I try to open the 
wizard to configure the characteristics of the tank, instead of opening a 
window with areas for inputs, it opens a plain window, with nothing in it.
I couldn't use genopt for the same reason

Another question is regarding videocard. I know that some cards cause the 
graphics generated during the simulation to reload all the lines every 
time that I change tabs, look to another window, etc. In a simulation 
where one is tracking several outputs at the same time it does costs a lot 
of time. I would like to avoid this with the new computer. What kind of 
video card should I look for?

Thanks you

Lucas Lira
