I somehow knew you was going to say that. lol. I'll check my graphics drivers to see if I have the latest version, but considering I am using a Dell 1545 laptop that Ive not long had, I think i may be out of luck there. I have not tried a different version of Kicad. Do you recommend a version to try???? Can I just run Kicad in compatability mode???? The only other alternative I can think of, is creating a new partition on my hard drive (which I wouldnt like to do) and installing Linux and trying it thst way. What do you think????? Andy
