Using PA 4.5 When I drad on a Materail or oject styles, I get these little white boxes gosting around the mouse pointer. I have Vista 64 with Nvidia GTX260 graphics card. I am set up in the nvidia control panel to let the application decide the Performance. I have no Problems like this in MAya, C4d or Houdini all of the open gl viewports work great. Is there somthing I can do to make this stop. The boxes overlap and dont go away until I unclick the mouse so they cover up all of the text /objects in the viewport grid. Also is there a regular style of forum than this vertical stacking bulliten board. I have a hard time in these types of forums. I appreciate any help you can give , thanks

Hi Jeff,
If you are using ProAnimator inside of After Effects and you have undocked panels within After Effects, it could cause graphic glitches/flickering inside the program. To fix this, dock all panels within After Effects, and you will not run into this issue anymore. You can dock all panels by selecting the "Effects" workspace, then selecting the "Reset Effects" command.
If you are not using ProAnimator within After Effects, then I'm unfamiliar with what you mean by "ghosting little boxes" Please upload an image, or send an image to ed@zaxwerks.com so I can see what you are running into.
However, judging from what you are describing, it sounds like you may be running into display issues. I would recommend checking your graphics card and updating the driver to the latest version.

I have uploaded a video in .mov format. I cliccked the little Movie Icon in the message toolbar but it says has to be moderated. Well see if they approve it.

nope still happenng, ired ll configs, Render chabge, NO AA no ALpha resoltion 648 x648 In cam mode. same result, I guess you have never seen this before. I have see somthing similar, When running C4d in 32 bit mode if I have a high poly count it will default to Box mode and render all of the objects as Boxes until I stop moving the scene aroung, It like I am stuck in Box mode. Any specific Nvidia control pannel settings I can set for the app specifically

Hi Jeff.
There does seem to be a refresh problem with the OpenGL window. I'm guessing it relates to an incompatibility between our software and your graphics card.
We don't currently have a solution, but hopefully it's not too much of an annoyance.
