Right click on the desktop. Properties, Settings (tab), Advanced button, Troubleshooting (Tab).

Lower the hardware acceleration slider one notch down. OK it.


Restart Mastercam and see how it works. Still having problems, lower it another notch, etc...

What kind of card. I hope it doesn't have an INTEL chip on it. They are the worse.

Hey Mike thanks for trying to answer my problem ,i went from a nvidia gforce agp 512mb card to an asus agp 512mb everything seems to be the same as far as the card goes but i still cant see my chaining direction untill i hit the done icon. I tried lowering the acceleration 2 notches but still not working right and it does have an intel pentium processor

Asus makes the card but not the video chip. It probably has the Nvidia chip on the Asus also.

Why did you change cards?
Was the 1st Nvidia working?
Did you download the latest video driver from the NVidia web site?
Dont use the driver that comes with Windows. They suck.

I was referring to an Intel Video chip, not the PC's procesor. Ther is really only 3 main video chip makers that your likely to run into, NVidia, ATI and Intel. Intel video chips are the worst.

Can you take it back and get something with an Nvidia chip set? All of yur problems will go away.
