Having odd graphics issues with SolidWorks?

It may be a simple case of not having a supported graphics driver. A simple way to check and fix this issue is to utilize the SolidWorks Rx Tool. Go to Windows Start > All Programs > Solidworks Rx. Select the Diagnostics tab from across the top of the Rx Window. It will take a moment to review your system, and the first diagnostic test at the top reviews your graphics information. It will tell you whether your graphics card and/or your graphics driver are supported by SolidWorks. If the driver is not a supported driver, it will even have a button that when clicked on will download the correct driver. Download the driver, but before installing it, be sure to uninstall your old driver and reboot your system. -Ben Taylor, Application Engineer
