Screen turning white in X7 ???

[SKIR68]

Im just wondering if anyone else is having this issue with X7? I am running Windows 7 with MasterCam X7. Everytime I click on something else, my MasterCam window turns white.

If i click on it, it turns back to what i was working on. Perhaps it's a Windows issue??

I have same problem after updating to X7, but McamX7 have many more bugs that interfere with work. This bug is smallest.

Ok, after searching a littl on this forum, i have come up what may be a solution.right click on X7 icon, properties, Compatibility, check Disable desktop comosition.

 

seems to be working...for now.

I have this same issue with X6 as well, and after some testing I've determined it to be an issue with some Microsoft applications in Windows 7. Never used to happen with Windows XP 64 bit. It doesn't seem to occur when running all applications, mostly just Microsoft apps, for instance Adobe Reader or Google Chrome browser do not cause it.

 

Another more annoying issue to me, switching from XP 64 to Win7 64, is that now when I double click on any field data in an operation to entirely highlight it and retype its value, it does NOT highlight / select the (-) negative sign symbol in the value and I end up with a negative value after typing the change, that which was intended to be a positive value or a double negative symbol in the field if I type a negative value. Only by clicking and dragging to the left or highlight + [backspace] key pressed twice can I get a negative value changed to a positive. Kinda breaks the workflow rhythm I had going while working in XP 64 and forces me to work slower to avoid having a potentially dangerous and costly typo mistake.
