Mazaks Camware Rendering Problem

Hi all,
Hoping that someone will be able to assist...
I have just installed Mazak's Camware on a Dell Precision T3500 Win7 (32bit OS) system. (please see attached picture to see the version number)
Everything seems to work really quite well, communicates to the machine and all, but when the programmer is trying to run a simulation of the toolpath with a rendered view of the action, all we are getting is a bright blue screen with nothing showing up.
Any movement of the mouse into, across or anything in the display area results in the display reverting to a wireframe view of the current model.
We can display a rendered image of the chuck and workpiece at any time, but not during simulation.
Got any ideas as to what settings might be screwing up this display?
I have downloaded the latest version of the video card drivers.
Video card is a Nvidia Quadro 2000 with 1GB ram.
CPU is a Intel Xeon W3565 3.20Ghz 8M Cache 4 core beastie...
Thanks
Brian.

I have had problems with CAM systems not rendering thing properly. I have had to switch from an ATI based GPU to nvidia. Unless Mazak updates there software you may need to find a different GPU. Some times the less expensive gaming cards work better than a more expensive one.

Thanks for your reply, sorry for the delay in answering... been off on leave.
Looks like I will have to try a different video card, thought that might be the solution.
Damnit!
