wildfire 5.0, M040, student edition, recently started having a slow erase of a highlighted feature.  The feature would highlight when the cursor moved across and no other work could be done until the highlighted lines were slowly erased from bottom of screen to top. This makes the product somewhat unusable due to the slow response. I'm running windows 10 and this seemed to start after a win 10 update. I found an earlier report of this or a similar problem that was fixed but I can't find the solution. Any help?

    Hi,

    this is graphic related problem. You can add following option at the end of config.pro file

    graphics  win32_gdi

    The option turns off OPENGL graphics, therefore ProE window will be blinking during rotation.

    Note: You are using old software in combination with new operating system. You can't expect that old software will behave nicely all the time. It is developed for Windows XP not for Windows 10.
