Error message on creating a new connection in PowerConnect.

Solution

[Windows 11]

Your computer probably contains more than one graphical card. You can check the amount of graphical card using the Device Manager (NL: Apparaatbeheer) of Windows. Asign the internal graphical card to PowerConnect by following these steps:

    • Click with the right mouse button on the desktop and open the NVIDIA control panel.
    • Go to Manage 3D setttings > tab page Program settings.
    • Click on the button Add.
      Browse to the folder C:\Program Files\BuildSoft\PowerConnec 202x.
      Select the PowerConnect.exe and hit Open.
    • Set the graphical processor to the “internal graphical card” and hit ‘Apply’.
    • Start PowerConnect and check if the problem is solved.
    • If it is not solved, repeat the steps but select the NVIDIA card instead.
[Windows XP]
    1. Close PowerConnect
    2. Right click with mouse on desktop and click ‘Properties’
    3. Go to page ‘Settings’ → ‘Advanced’
    4. Go to page ‘Troubleshoot’
    5. Move hardware acceleration to the left: about 50% or less
    6. Try PowerConnect again. If it still does not work, repeat 1-2-3 and move hardware acceleration more to the left. The optimal value depends on your graphic card.
