Display issue - selection field color

[markeriv]

Currently whenever I try to select multiple objects via clicking and dragging in windows vista I get a square the size of the selection field that stays after I have released. Its color changes depending on what appearance scheme I use. Most commonly it is black or dark grey.

 

Is this a problem with my vid card? I have an nvidia 6900GT.

It is related to video card but more likely you are seeing problems with Windows Vista's Aero properties.

I turned my settings off and haven't seen any similar problems since.

 

I must admit though that I've forgotten where to turn the Aero properties off.

It should be in your Vista Control Panel.

 

Note: It is a good idea to double check and make sure you have the most current video driver for your card.

I still have display Issues when I turn Aero off,no colored square but I still get a small section of my real time Image that moves instead of the entire workspace when I zoom. I noticed this with Vista and win 7 I have a nvidea 9600 g force with updated drivers too. Very frustrating...

Welcome to the A:M Forum!

 

on the icon for A:M and open up the Properties window

 

In the "Compatibility" tab select "Turn off Desktop Composition"

 

try that.

 

 

If you're getting a small area only of the window that is updating , try hitting the SPACE bar to force a whole window update. Some graphics cards also work better depending on whether the model window is maximized or not maximized. You might also try Show Workbook On or OFF.
