Video Issues Driving me NUTS!!!

  1. RANT WARNING...

    WTF happened to the NVIDIA drivers and SW 2006 (sp3.1)???

    I now have to restart SW at least 4 times during a 3 hour session or so to
    clear up video driver / screen corruption issues. I have not installed
    anything recently, so why this.. now?

    I am using the currently approved drivers for my FX1100... no problems
    before SW 2005 sp?

    I have seen errors that don't even look like windows warnings, as well as
    Feature Manager corruptions???
    The warning box is not even using complete sentences, i.e. "Problem finding
    required" and that is it... required what??????? The message box looks odd,
    I program and have not seen windows like these. And missing parts of
    assemblies or parts, sheet metal bends, etc. this is ridiculous!

    What happened to the glorious days using SW 2005 and getting work done? I
    really want to vote by not renewing my service contract which ends in 15
    days, but now with this I am over a barrel, and must wait for a more stable
    release.

    RANT OFF...

    Anyone else seeing NVIDIA FX1100 video and SW 2006 sp3.1 problems PLEASE?

    Thank you,

    Aron

    I am not good at debugging video, but I do wonder whether some form of
    Windows corruption has got ahold of you or is it strictly a SolidWorks
    problem?

    Certainly not a cure, but I used to "clean" my screen by splitting the
    display window in 2 , then closing one of the 2 windows. (that was wayyy
    back with my first GeForce)
    Worth a try?
