Upsetting Graphics Issue
Upsetting Graphics Issue
(OP)
I almost can not take it anymore. This graphics issue is driving me nuts. When I single LMB on an item in my assembly I get the standard options box that pops up, no problem. However, if I try to zoom or rotate only the area that the pop up box covers rotates or zooms until I press QTRL-Q. I have already uninstalled the video card driver and made sure it is the newest supported versin as well.

Is this what you have?
It could be:

-Sometimes working with dual monitors
-Too many apps open/running/both

Things change quick in technology--not sure if the Quadro is really the problem in your case, but I've seen lots of people with similar issues. Try the driver Chris mentioned above.

Also go to Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make Keyboard Easier to Use, and check the box for Underline keyboard shortcuts.
I can't offer a guarantee that either of those settings will cure your problem, but they have been known to correct graphics glitches in Vista systems.

Turn ON Windows Aero as CBL suggests.
I had the symptoms you describe on a couple of my Vista systems.
Turning Windows Aero back on fixed it for me.

RE: Upsetting Graphics Issue
Who recommends to turn off the Aero option?
I have the same graphics glitches if Aero is OFF on both my Vista and Windows 7 machines.
The suggestion to turn ON the Aero graphics came from Jim Wilkenson or Ron Bates of SolidWorks when I was having issues with my Windows Vista computer last year.

There are 3 issues that show turning off is a workaround to some issues. one is for 2008, but it still shows there are bugs having on just the same as having off.

RE: Upsetting Graphics Issue
So far this has worked for me. Had to reboot to get the settings to take.
A star for you.
