Graphics problem - Why is screen going black?

[dontevenjoke]

I have an unusual problem...

When I render with open GL and switch to stack layers or change of view the screen goes black and then the view turns to what looks like exploding shards of glass going in all directions recognizible only by the colours and textures on some of the shards.

I have Nvidia 5200 ultra video card with updated driver.

I am not taking any substances or chemicals that may cause this problem.

Just an added thought...

It seems to happen if I have an item selected and then change views and render, or stack layers and render.

Is this a driver issue and should I uninstall the driver and go back to original?

Thanks,

It does sound like a driver problem.

This is a great product for getting rid of previous versions, I never update video drivers without it.

It's worth trying the older driver. There seem to be a number of display problems being reported by users with nVidia cards.

Thank you very much Ray... That is a godsend and I have zero problems with much improved speed, what a great program. I was thinking I might cleanout some other drivers and see if I can tweak my system further.

Thanks to George as well...
