Re: DirectX driver issues in windows 10
I just registered just to say thank you.. The Java trick worked perfectly, and I don't think it can get easier to follow, or the need to a step-by-step guide.. It is just download and install an app, and then download and run the Jnlp file...

Re: DirectX driver issues in windows 10
What finally worked for me was the following: 1) Install Java 21 and Java 64; both if a 64-bit machine). 2) Using Firefox, and get into sweethome 3) use the "ONLINE". This will fire-up JAVA 4) leave Firefox ON, minimize window, and fireup the installed local Sweethome program. Weird as it sounds, but that works. For Java, use the "offline"installations https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp The install will clear up old and unneeded versions.Enable Java (from the Configure java app)

Thanks ben for this very strange way to make it work. I hope I'll find an easier way to fix this issue...

Re: DirectX driver issues in windows 10
The new Vswethome3d ersion 5.2, February 17, 2016 fixes the problem, But to make it work, I use the added Java Web Start http://sweethome3d.com/SweetHome3D-HiDPIx2.jnlp This is able to display the user interface of Sweet Home 3D at a twice larger size for users with HiDPI screens under Windows and Linux.
Hi, I had the same problem on a windows 10 x64 system.
This is how I finally solved it using java 64 bits:
- Install Sweet Home 3D - Rename the jre8 folder in installation directory (C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D) to jre8.bak (JRE bundled is 1.8.0_74) - Install a previous JRE 64 bits (For me it worked with 1.8.0 and 1.7.X). It gets installed in c:/"Program Files"/Java/JREXXX - Either copy/mklink c:/"Program Files"/Java/JREXXX directory as C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D\jre8
This is another way of making it run without JNLP and java 32 bits:
- Download and install java 32 bits - Download SweetHome3D jar from sourgeforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/sweethome3d/...etHome3D-5.2.jar/download) - With only 32bits java installed, double click to start - With multiple java installed, create a start.bat file pointing at the correct java containing: C:/Program Files/java/JAVA-VERSION-WORKING/bin/java -jar C:/DIRECTORY-WITH-JAR/SweetHome3D-5.2.jar)

Re: DirectX driver issues in windows 10
Please try the version 5.3 Beta 6 which should fix this issue (at least for some of you). As this Beta version doesn't contain any new feature yet, you can continue to use it without risk until the final version 5.3.
