Drawings open up, corrupted.

Drawings open up, corrupted.

(OP)
My group is begining to see a problem, often (not every drawing or occurance) when we open a drawing it will come in and need to be rebuilt.  Rebuild does not have an effect on the drawing (views still have hatching showing we need to rebuild) any movement of the sheet fills the screen with ten and hundreds of instances of each line from the drawing, filling the sheet with nearly all black.  Shut down, restart, open model then open drawings sometimes fixes problem.  

We are on PDMworks, SW2004 sp3, Windows XP, nvidia video cards (128, and 256 mb).

Anyone else seeing this?  It is happening on different machines and different files.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure all the Video cards and drivers are SW certified ... not just the latest & greatest.

Check also your chipset (if it is VIA, you are in trouble).
