This setting just sometime checks itself for no apparent reason. Its greyed out with no documents open and you have to reboot to clear it. Just wonder if anyone else has seen this.

When that happens its usually and issue with the driver. I always uninstall the driver first, reboot, install, Reboot, and test, but only with Nvidia drivers

If you close all your solidworks documents, then go to the solidworks options you can uncheck the box. That way you don't have to restart.
 
I've seen this setting turn itself on when running SW on an "inferior" video card, however if you're getting it on an FX3500 it's likely a driver issue as sbaugh indicates. When reinstalling check to make sure you have the driver approved for use with SW (not the latest driver)...
 
Sorry, I should have read your post better. You stated that it is greyed out with no documents open.
