Invisible pane, becoming a pain
Invisible pane, becoming a pain
(OP)
Hi all,
Whenever I've got SolidWorks on in the background, and I click back, or ALT + TAB back to SolidWorks, the pane where the drawing/part/assembly should be just shows the image of the screen/application I had up before. I can see the toolbars and feature manager. When I CTRL + TAB through the other open SolidWorks files, they appear without a problem, but when I cycle back to the first one, all it shows is the image of the previous SolidWorks file. When I swish the pointer over the pane, the model edges appear in red lines, and I can click everything that should be there.
Machine is an hp xw8000, dual Intel Xeon 3.06GHz, 3GB RAM with NVIDIA Quadro4 750 XGL driver 6.14.10.9136
Can anyone help?
Conrad.

If that eliminates the problem, then uninstall the old driver and install the new one per FAQ559-1194: How Do I install New drivers for my Video Card?
