Hello,
When hovering over icons, such as the “Constrain” function, the helper graphic appears over top of my product tree. After the graphic is finished playing it doesn’t go away. I can’t select anything in my tree structure that is behind the graphic and when I try to select the “I” (New, Save, Etc), I can’t select anything from that menu dropdown which is under the icon either.
I’m running Windows 8.1, and I’m using a trial version of Autodesk Inventor Pro 2014.
Anyone know who to fix this issue?
Have you installed Service Pack 1 and Update 1 for Service Pack 1?

Hello,
Thank you for the response. I tried updating the service pack, but that didn't appear to fix anything.
Now that i'm playing around with it a little more, it appears the graphic stays in-place regardless of whether Inventor is maxamized or minimized. For example, Inventor is minimized while i read your reply, and the graphic is covering part of my Firefox browsing session. Note: Firefox is open independendently of Inventor.
When i close Inventor, the graphic goes away.
Ay other ideas?
I've had a user with this issue. Go to Task Manager and kill Flash because it's hung up. (I think it's Flash, but could be some other Adobe product- it's been a while since I've dealt with it.)
Anyway, that's fixed it for me. 🙂

I too have had that problem, but when I got a new laptop with an "approved" graphics card, the issue went away. With my old laptop, I went into the Options/General tab/ and unchecked the box for Show ToolClips to keep the animations from playing.
Not sure if you guys are having the issue I did, but mine was due to an Optimus based NVidia card. I posted what I did to fix it in a thread about Revit here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Revit-Architecture/Revit-Tooltip-Freezing-problem/m-p/4367641
