Excellent guys.......I appreciate the input. I am now invesigating a video card upgrade fix.......

Hello folks. I am glad to have found this forum. I just upgraded from 2008 to 2010. It was a company wide update......about 15 other employees. I am the only person within the company that is having this problem. Everything intalls fine and Vectorworks opens fine. The problem is that after I open the program and it is finished loading, the display does all kinds of "funky" things that I have never seen a computer do. The program will still function if I can manage to navigate it, but it is very difficult. Here are the symptoms... -Windows and tool sets become half hidden and reappear randomly....especially when moving the windows around. -Parts of the display "ghost" in and out when the mouse pointer hovers over them. They go in and out of sight. -If I move or close the program, some of the windows will remain as an image on the desktop until I hover over sections with my mouse pointer and they disappear, a section at a time. I have tried all the normal stuff......reinstallation, runnning as administrator, updating service pack....etc. I have never seen a program do this. It does not happen with any other programs I run, or my old version of Vectorworks 2008. It is a very hard problem to describe, but it has me baffled. My next step will be to buy a new computer, but for my bosses sake, this will be my last resort. Thanks in advance.
