You might try updating the graphics card driver software. Another could be a malfunctioning pl |
| Re: SketchUp 8 just stopped working. | iskinner | 5/25/12 1:25 PM | No plugins added. Nothing added to SketchUp or my computer of which I am aware since I started using SketchUp two weeks ago It worked many more time then once or twice before it started having its fit.
