Did what you said and adjusted the windows performance. Its got me going. Everything looks sorta strange, like its in safe mode. But I can live with it for now. Im stuck with this puter atleast till the end of the semester. Any idea how much of a graphic upgrade I can do to a core 3i processor, if any? This puters windows experience index is 4.5 based on the graphics being a 4.5. Solidworks works ok on it, but then what do I know I suck at solidworks

I think thats just standard operating procedure for the MC EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE. Not sure why, its not like you could really use it for shop work anyway since you can't post anyway. But I use streaming teacher to learm x5 and they say thats designed in that way.

I just bought a Toshiba Satalite C655 and have Solidworks, Autocad 2011,and Mastercam X5. I had the same stuff on my last puter HP G70 and it all worked fine. Just put the Mastercam on from streaming teacher and lines won't show up. Changed to GDI, but it keeps going back as soon as i check out of config.. Disabled graphic acc. and still nothing. Will try to call someone Mon. (tomorrow). Todays Superbowl. Anyone seen this problem? Drivers? Graphics? WHAT!! .
