Solidworks 2001 Disappearing Act

Solidworks 2001 Disappearing Act

Solidworks 2001 Disappearing Act

(OP)
I just got SW2001 installed to my work computer, and EVERY SINGLE line or dimension or circle or anything I do makes working screen blank.  If I click the Solidworks button at the bottom of my task bar the lines reappear, but this is very frustrating to do over and over again.  What could be making my object dissapear every time I do anything.  I am proficient with AutoCAD and I'm trying to learn Solidworks, and this is not helping me at all :(

Read the FAQ's here.
Probably is your video card.

RE: Solidworks 2001 Disappearing Act

Sounds exactly like a video card problem.  Check the FAQs like ctopher said, as well as the SolidWorks web site for graphics card compatibility.

Reason trumps all.  And awe trumps reason.
