Garbled background
Just installed and I have an interesting issue.
Everything works fine, except on my 28" main display, I get all this weird looking stuff on the background. On my 20" secondary display I don't. All the fish and scenery displays fine. Running on a core2quad Vista x86 nvidia quadro FX3400 (driver dated 12/17/09) I disabled the secondary monitor, disabled aero theme, went down to 800x600, but nothing changed it. I do quite a bit of rendering in autocad, and have never seen anything like this before. I rotated the image so it wouldn't make the forum display so wide. |

The background is not being "cleared" (refreshed). This can have several causes. Some that come to mind are:
Bad drivers. Weak or malfunctioning video card. Not enough video ram.

Either that video card is overheating, or your video drivers are out-of-date. If you allow Windows Update to replace your video drivers or give you a "suggested" driver, this can often happen. Head to nVidia.com and get the latest driver for your graphics card.

And then, after re-installing your graphics drivers, ensure you also re-install DirectX.
