Not sure if its much help but my colleague's laptop does the same when he selects something - it's probably the nvidia graphics card. we ended up replacing it with a non nvidia and the problem went away. HTH Nick
Tom, Make sure you don't have the NVIDIA Menu turned on. Make sure this is turned off. I have a FX1300 and the NVIDIA Menu causes MapInfo to stop working. Hope This helps. Cheers Ian
Hi guys, Try slowing down the hardware acceleration
in the graphics settings. That used to have an issue with not redrawing.
G'day Tom, Below are some responses I gave to Bill Williams at Parliament House Library. We are now using MapInfo 8.0 and still need to force the LCD monitors to refresh once in a while. I suggest you trial another card to eliminate that part of the puzzle. We changed to Matrox Millennium P650 PCIe 128 with 128 Mb memory and all is well. There are a few posts on this in the archives. HTH Greg.
Hello, i have the same problem using MapInfo 8.5 Dell Inspirion 9400 XP Pro SP2 P4 T2400 Dual Core NVIDIA 6800 by 1920x1200 i found a lot of event-log messages caused by nview but have no solution at all. I you find something out, please let me know. Very annoying, because always when MapInfo hangs, i have to kill and restart the epxlorer as well. Regards Markus
Result: I switched off the NVIDIA menu as Ian suggested and MapInfo has not locked up since.
I have however decided to replace the card as I now see strange linear artifacts across solid regions that come and go as I zoom in and out.
Thanks Tom Orr
