X5 zoom & orientation issues

[Marshal]

I'm having some issues where occasionally when I try to change the views using the standard views toolbar, only like half or two-thirds of the viewing area actually changes, and that usually results in nothing being shown on that part of the viewing area. After this happens, I usually can't adjust the zoom or angle or anything with the mouse wheel or my SpaceExplorer. I don't load any extremely intricate models, in fact most of them are only a single part and doing only simple chaining, so it should certainly be able to handle changing views at any time.

 

Has anyone else had issues like this? I've got a FirePro V8700 in my machine, and this glitch has been happening on and off for a few weeks now.

Have you checked for the latest driver for your video card?

Always fixes little glitches like that for me (every 6mo. or so...)

well, it's the most up to date driver that SolidWorks supports, so it should (and used to) work fine. It's not the most recent one for the card, but I've had bad experiences with updating the drivers before they're supported by SW.
