help: tracking points won't go away

[ReMark]

Is this the start of an infection?

[Lt Dan's legs]

After closing this drawing twice it disappeared

The X would only move when you regen after zoom or pan.

I've had similar sorts of artifacting occur from time to time since a'07. They've always gone away eventually. It's probably a worn spot or scar tissue in the program code.

Did you try turning off hardware acceleration? Did you try creating new profiles?

[bigdogrod]

hardware acceleration off, profiles changed, it's the windows log in that affects how autocad behaves, the other windows log in's (except 1) don't have this problem.. i can log in with the affected user name on another machine, it's fine..

 

i changed the graphics card this morning, no improvement..

 

i'm thinking about reinstalling autocad..

 

sounds like lt dan and i have the same problem...

[SLW210]

Try a REPAIR first before reinstalling, if needed follow the instructions from Autodesk on a CLEAN uninstall/reinstall.

Do these Windows profiles have some sort of different (not optimum for monitor) screen resolution or the dreaded Windows Areo theme or transparency, scrolling, fading, shadows, or anything else that might eat up the graphics memory?

[bigdogrod]

good thinking dana, but they are the same resolution, theme set to classic, no drop shadows or any visual effects, no aero as luckily we're still on xp pro
