Dialog Box / Graphics problem

Anonymous

HI,
Lately I have been having problems where dialog boxes have been very temperamental. ie certain things just deciding to not show up.

I cant describe to i have attached an image.

sometimes switching out then going back in resets it.

also sometimes the dialog box is fine then after a couple of seconds it distorts again.

can be good for a day, then bad for a day making ArchiCAD unusable.

graphics problem??

Upgrade to the latest hotfix (2675) and also make sure you have the latest video card drivers.

I have seen this and it seems to be memory related - i.e too many other programs running.

Someting else to look at is do you have the trace and reference on in the background.Try turning this off.\
I does cause problems with the info box when you have something selected - it won't show any properties for the selection.
Turning the trace off fixes that.
Maybe it is related?
