Pro/E image ghosting

Pro/E image ghosting

We were using Pro Engineer on Unix and are now switching over to running it on Windows XP. We currently use Lenovo M58p desktop PCs, update them to 3gb of RAM and had added an Nvidia Quadro FX1700.

The first few systems went okay and then they all started to "ghost" the windows that were open, it is causing folks to lose work and sometimes it will cause Pro/E to crash completely.

We switched to Nvidia Quadro FX3800s and 4gb of matched memory, upgraded the power supply. The image still occurs.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm running out of resources and losing my mind. Thanks!!

Make sure you have the NVIDIA control panel software loaded, and that
the 'Pro-Engineer' openGL preferences are being used.

Try the NVIDIA driver which is listed as PTC supported or certified (it may be an older one)

Sometimes it is the Microsofts Intellimouse driver interfering with the graphics refresh methods. If You have this installed, remove it for a try.
