Computer Name: Any computer that has used Open Dental. Unused computers can be deleted to speed up messaging. Double-click a computer name to edit the graphics preferences for that computer. This is not recommended.

• Use Simple Graphics: Set another computer's Graphics Preferences to simple. This is useful as a fix for machines that do not have DirectX or OpenGL installed or working properly. On these machines, sometimes Open Dental closes unexpectedly when a user chooses a database. To fix this, from another computer, click on the computer name, then click Use Simple Graphics. This is the same as selecting the Simple Tooth Chart in Graphics.
