Possible Video Card Issue

[diamondcat]

SWX 2005 SP5.0
SWX 2006 SP1.0

System Info:
Dell Workstation PWS450
Xeon CPU 2.8GHz
2.0GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1000
Driver Version: 7.1.8.4

I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems.
I have had a problem a couple of times where when I rotate an assembly all of the parts blow up. I don't mean they go out of being mated, I mean the surfaces all change to spikes and starbursts that radiate outward, it's quite pretty in a sad way. I also have problems in assemblies (shaded with edges shown) where all of a sudden half of my parts will turn see-through and the others are still all solid. There are even parts where half of the surfaces are shaded and the other half is see through. I can't just close the model and bring it back up either, I have to get all the way out of Solidworks and re-launch it other wise the model comes up the same.

This has happened both in SWX 2005 & 2006. It happened when I had 2004 & 2005 loaded at the same time. Then I wiped both off my tube and reloaded 2005, still happened. Now I loaded 2006 in addition to 2005 and it is still happening. I have gone to the SWX site and verified that my card has passed and that I have the latest driver. I also contacted my VAR and he is looking into it. Is it possibly that my video card is slowly failing? or do I have something set wrong?

Thanks

Well SW Explore uses technology from Edrawings and Edrawings uses the HOOP viewer to view files. So this fix will fix only as you said Edrawings and SW Explorer. I don't think this will help with viewing in SW though...

Thanks for posting it though it will be help for those with Edrawing\swExplorer viewer issues.
