We are having a maximized view (or large viewing window) issue with several applications in our engineering group. This is mainly with Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 (and the plugin for IE7), FastLook (for viewing Inventor and AutoCAD drawings), and FastStone Capture for clipping screen shots. During the day we can function properly at first, but after running a while we can fire up one of the above applications and if we make the viewing window large or maximized, we get a blank window or a window with some of the previous screen showing thru in to the new window.
For example, we view an online PDF document in IE7 in a small viewing window, sat 30% of our total display, and the document shows properly. Then we stretch the size of the window to 75% the size of our display and some of the document shows, some of the background wallpaper shows in the document window, but as we scroll the document up and down, it paints the document into the view. Or it may just be a blank viewing window. If we shrink the window back to 30% then the document comes in complete again. Then if we maximize the viewing window to 100% of the display nothing shows in the window. When this is occurring it happens with all the above mentioned apps similarly. We can also start shutting down open applications and sometimes this fixes, but there are times we shut down all applications and it still does this and won’t display complete. Our engineering group are all basically setup with identical workstations and have very similar problems across the board. We are running Windowx XP Pro SP3 on Intell Xeon 2.80GHz processors, 3GB Ram, NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500. We run basic Office apps and our primary engineering apps are Autodesk Inventor 11 and AutoCAD 2007. Running video driver 6.14.11.8265 and have tried several other drivers with no changes to our problem. We have installed applications to monitor temperature and hardware status, we have looked for logged events, but nothing abnormal shows up. Not sure why this is happening but it very much affects the way the entire department works. Not sure if the FX4500’s are flaky either. Any help or advice on what to check next???? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
