Specific questions about GiD in the different operating systems.
Tipically, these type of problems are caused by the graphics acceleration card.

GiD works in any pentium. Normally, the critical issue is the RAM memory. It must be related to the size of the mesh to be generated. As a rule of thumb, 32Mb for meshes of 30-40M elements or 512Mb for half a million elements to one million or more.
Version 6 and newer supports spaces on filenames. But it is advisable not to include spaces in the model names because it can give problems in the calculations process.
Version 6 and newer supports spaces on machine names. Due to an interaction problem between GiD and Microsoft Windows, machine names with spaces can not be used in version 5.0p47. In the meantime, this problem can be avoided using a machine name without spaces. After 5.0p49b this problem is be solved.
