If you have an NVIDIA card and find that the VIM app crashes or produces a black rectangle on your screen, try the following adjustment.

  • Right-click on your desktop and select the NVIDIA Control Panel Under "Manage 3D Settings" tab

  • Ensure that "Power management mode" is set to "Prefer Maximum Performance"

  • Click APPLY once the change is made. Close the NVIDIA dialogue and try to open up the VIM file again
