Selection problem
Selection problem
(OP)
Hi all. I'm experiencing some strange behavior here. After working for a while, usually on surface intensive things, my selection rectangle dissapears when I go to box select something. The selected items still highlight, but I have to guess where the rectangle is. Also, while this is going on, my quick pick seems to be gone.
If I give it a little rest, everything goes back to normal. Computer is a Dell T3500 Windows 7, 64 bit.
I have tried new graphics cards (quadro 4000), different drivers and nothing seems to help. The current driver I'm running may have helped a little. Dell wants to try a new motherboard, but I'm hesitant because I have a lot of custom functions that license off of the physical address. There are a lot of other reasons I don't want to yank my motherboard unless absolutely necessary.
Suffice it to say it would be a huge pain.
I thought I'd check in here as a last ditch effort. Has anyone experienced this? I'm wondering if some data is caching somewhere when this happens and once "let go" is when things go back to normal. Otherwise it may be that something is heating up somewhere. Diagnostics all check out though. My Graphics card is not running hot.
Thanks in advance for any help.

RE: Selection problem
there you say that you have tried new graphics cards ( Quadro 4000)
I read it as that you have a ( singular) new Quadro 4000 and that this one gave the strange effects.
- The Quadro card is what i mean when i said "graphics board".

RE: Selection problem
I downloaded the older version of the driver and everything is fine.
Thanks all for your help and suggestions.
