Hey everybody, I just got a new laptop (Win XP Mediacenter, 1.83 cor duo, 7900gs, 512 ram on a 1920x1200 display) and also just got ahold of the install for blender (the USA and Austrial links were down) So, when I try to use Blender, I get black and white dots across my screen when I mouse wheel around an object, and when I move my cursor over a button in blender, and my mouse dosn’t always select the right verts (it will select some compleatly random one that most of the time isn’t on screen). I have tried the basic stuff, like uninstall and reinstall, restarting. This wasn’t happing on Friday, so any ideas?
It’s probably a Video Card setting; change your ColorDepth setting and/or Hardware Acceleration. Also check your Mouse settings are using the default setting (without shadows).
I wasn’t aware that ATI made a 7900 GS, I have a Nvidia, just swaped over from a ATI card. Anyways, just reinstalled my driver, and things seem to be working out a little bit better, but I have to restart to be sure.
