Pro-E display problem. Please help! 2

[sboy]

I have been encountering some very annoying display problems when running Pro-E 2001 (release code 3320)and hope that some bright spark out there can suggest a fix.

When attempting to spin or otherwise re-orient part models and assemblies, the screen will do one of the following, until the image has refreshed:
. Black out completely.
. Become swamped with multi colored patterns.
. Display an image of a part or assembly that is no longer in session.
. Display a static image of the part being spun.

The problems have occured since the "time out" bug for which I have installed the patch. Just prior to this I did a series of windows updates, including one for the video card (GeForce4 Ti4200). Prior to this, Pro has been stable for months.

Any suggestions...please and thanks!!!

Is the new video driver that ypui installed certified by PTC? CAD graphics are very flaxy and certain graphic card driver version can cause strange problems.

I once had a certified driver that would take over an hour to load a 75MB part file. When I went to the next rev of the driver, the same file would load in 4-5 minutes.

Thank you for your response. We don't have a current PTC maintenance contract, so I'm not quite sure how to check if the driver is certified. FYI the driver revision is 6.14.10.5216. In the mean time, I will try and track down the original driver that came with the card.
Thanks again!

After much weeping and nashing of teeth, I can confirm that it was a driver issue. I found the driver in nvidia's archive; it being revision 45.23 for anyone else that might be experiencing the same problem.
Thanks again.

We have this same problem on a few workstations that were recently rebuilt. I have tried this solution on one and it fixed the problem. Thanks a bunch for this info...
