Well, I haven't actually started vue in some time, and the first time I do, I get checkers all over the previews. I must have updated the video driver since the last time I used it:( Well, I get smart, and try installing the newest ones (since I wouldn't have installed the other version, had they not been necessary for something else!) and now, it's even worse. Looking on Support side for Vue, I see their reply to identical issues to "Turn off Open GL"...well, it does prevent the issue (no surprise), but...that's a pretty nice feature just to be told isn't supported (no other software has trouble...not even the open source Wings3d nor XFrog (which has plenty of other problems!). ) Is there a fix that I've missed regarding this issue? I have an nvidia mx 430 (or something like that). The drivers were dated March 12, 2004 or thereabouts, so they don't come much newer than that. The older drivers were probably from around xmas or november...but i don't remember exactly when I did it. thanks, eric
