one25IT Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Hello everybody, I'm a total newbie to Autocad. I've got the following display issue. The entire top line (Application button, Quick access toolbar, search, Help, etc.) of the application window is illegible (bleached out) due to transparency inconsistencies. I did some research on the internet and found a solution to the problem disenabling Desktop Composition under Win7 (Performance Options > Visual Effects). Still, I prefer leaving Desktop Composition enabled, since I like the small preview windows in the Windows taskbar. I found other sources, describing the same trick on a per-program basis, but this doesn't seem to be possible for Autocad. I would appreciate it a lot, if somebody could help me out here. Maybe others had the same problem and you could point me to the right solution. By myself I couldn't find any related threads, maybe by reasons of not knowing the appropriate search terms. Thank you for any help! Edited September 18, 2011 by one25IT orthographic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 What graphics card and driver are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 See if THIS driver corrects the problem. What are your computer specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one25IT Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thanks a lot SLW210, you're great! You brought me on the right track. I downloaded the latest driver (280.26-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql) from the Nvidia site and it worked! Where can i give kudos and mark this thread as solved? Keep it up!

one25IT Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 I just wanted to add, that installing the new Nvidia driver lead to frequent ‘Display driver stopped responding and has recovered’ error messages. After installing new ‘Intel Processor Graphics 3000’ directly from the Intel site this error didn’t show up anymore. It’s important to mention, that neither of the two available driver updates had been detected using the ‘System Update’ of my Thinkpad.
