When I am moving my crosshairs around on my screen the crosshairs seem to flash at me. It is not nice and smooth. I do not have snap turned on. It kind of looks like I do but I do not to give you an example how bad this is. I am running a Dell 650 with a nividia graphics card quadro4 900 xgl
Running autocad 2004
Any thought on what could be causing this? Thanks

Couple things to run through...
1. Degauss your monitor.
2. Change the refresh rate via your windows properties box.
3. Wipe the white out off the screen.

Transparency on the tool palletes. Vid card can't handle it...
-
How do I turn this off I do not use tool palletes
Also it is an empty drawing. Nothing not a darn thing in the drawing
Thanks but still need help
Refresh rate did not work and all of the white out is off the screen! I think OOPs I missed a spot hold on
Ok it is gone
-
First of all, what version of AutoCAD are you running?
Transparency can be applied to the Properties palette (CTRL+1) or the Tool palette (CTRL+3). If you don't have either open, it's unlikely that this would be the culprit.

I am running autocad 2004

I'd check the taskmanager to see if any processes are taking up a bunch of CPU resources.
-
Nope task manager is ok
I do believe transparency is turned off. I do not have any of these tool palette open.
Thanks for the help
-
Spyware or malware! Although you would think you would see this in task manager as using resources.

I have a vague feeling that I had the same problem but that was a few years ago. I also have a vague certainty that the cause was determined. I'll try to remember what if if there was a fix. To get another obvious one out of the way in the mean time though, has it been doing it the whole time you've used 2004 or did it start recently? Did you install anything around the time it started? You also might check your video card driver to see if it updated recently and try rolling it back. You might also want to try reducing the color depth or resolution(nagging feeling that this was my problem). A lot of people, myself included, have a tendency to set the resolution as high as they can while still getting a picture. A lot of times, a resolution that the video card and/or monitor really can't handle well, can be selected and strange stuff happens.

I will have to look up my drivers and double check them
I just had my machine ghosted. So I lost all of my settings It was not doing this before the ghost. Thanks
