I was wondering if anybody here had ever heard of this before, and if you know what I can do to fix it. I already updated the drivers and everything, as well as changed the resolution and color settings of the screen, with no luck.
your help would be greatly appreciated as HP tech support hjas no Idea what they are talking about, and solidworks won't help me either. :shrug:

Games pretty much run Direct3D API and that's about it. But tech apps often times work better with OpenGL. I don't know Solidworks, but I know Discreet 3D Studio MAX pretty well, I use to sell, train, and set up ScreamerNet render farms for it, and the last I checked, OpenGL thumps Direct3D for MAX. So maybe that could be an issue. Keep in mind I know nothing about Solidworks however!
