Disappearing Curves

I have a simple model that has one revolved sketch. Everything was going great but now the small fillets are not displaying. I think the file is somehow corrupted. The curves are visible if you:
select them
print preview
have the view not normal to the sketch
I am in SW08 SP3 but have tried it on a different computer with SP5. I do have a certified video card with certified drivers. Thanks for the help.

Consider adding the fillets after you do the revolve instead of including them in the sketch.

Try playing with the sliders at:
Tools -> Options -> Document Properties -> Image Quality

And:
Tool -> Options -> System Options -> Performance

Thanks for the replies.
SnowCrash: Normally I would have them outside but there are good reasons in this instance
EEnd: I had tried the image quality and just fiddled with the performance both to no avail

In the problematic file I have made a square with 1mm sides and a radius of 0.05mm. If this is in the preexisting sketch that has the errors the fillets this new fillet does not display but if it is in a new sketch then it shows up. Any ideas? Thanks.
