What graphics card do you have. I had a similar issue that turned out
to be an incompatibility between my Oxygen VX1 card and a motherboard
with an Intel 850? chipset, even though I only experienced the problem with
either AutoCAD or Inventor (6 and 7). Oxygen's website had a registry
fix for the problem though.
