To set software OpenGL close all documents in SW. Go to Tools -> Options -> Performance and down at the bottom is the option to turn on/off OpenGL.
If you don't have all documents closed this option is greyed out.

I have uploaded the screenshots Greg had sent me prior to posting. They give an idea of what he's encountering.

Have you tried setting your options to software opengl and seeing if the rendering improves?

Just problems when rendering scenes. Parts take textures fine. It is the room for 'scenes' that is screwy. XP professional is the OS. Will play with it for a few more days. Thanks.

Video anomalies are frustrating. Are you seeing other graphical problems when you use SW2008? Odd rotation or zooming issues? These are usually good signs of driver problems. If it is just doing it with rendering, what operating system are you running? Have seen some issues with rendering when larger background processes or programs are running as well.

nVidia Quadro FX 1700 with the correct (***.6262)driver(not the latest). It seems to be a card promoted for SolidWorks. Not just my PC. Same behaviour on a collleagues identical PC as well.

What video card are you using? Is there any known issues with it?

Hi Ben,
using Photoworks with RealView on constantly. Solidworks Support said to install Certified Video Driver. Did not help.

First is RealView turned on or off and do you switch at any point in time? Also are you using PhotoWorks?
