How can I get Unity to work on win7?

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have a dell vostro 3550 with intel i5 2,3Ghz, 8 GB Ram and win7 pro 64 Bit.
I tried to install unity 5.4.2f2 (64-bit) as well as the 32-bit version.
Everytime I start the program it freezes after 2-3 clicks. When I minimize and maximize the window the view updates and I can see my last actions. Obviously I cant work like this.
I have already tried to set the performance settings on the Catalyst Control Center from high performance to energy saving like @darkshines said. It doesn’t work.

I have also tried to deactivate DEP in the system settings. It is still not working.
Has anybody a solution to this?

Thank you!

Alright I finally figured out how to create dump files. You can download it here [Unity.DMP][1] I hope this helps someone figuring out the cause of my problem! [1]: https://mab.to/Hyp4v3Pof

Try installing the latest .NET Framework linked and start unity after its installed

Thank you @jimicoolio for the fast reply! I have already installed .Net Framework 4.5 and 4.6. So unfortunately this is not working...

May not be the source of the problem for you; but I had this problem as well at first. The issue came from my GPU having issues rendering Unity after a few updates. I figured this out when I replaced my GPU.

Hmm thank you for your replies. @14ercooper I use for example Blender without any problems, so I dont think this is the source of my troubles :/ @Usman791 I have already tried both versions...

If you could create a dump file of Unity once it freezes, it may help people pinpoint your specific error. There are tutorials for creating dump files.
