Flashing Screen and Oversized text in properties box

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 16:01:32 GMT

Hello,

I recently purchased an ASUS Zenbook 303 with a NVidia GT940M graphics card. When I open Autocad, it is very glitchy and the screen will flash every 5 seconds. The text in the properties box is oversized, as shown in the photo. I think that it may be a problem with incompatibility with the Graphics card, but I'm not sure how to fix it. If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks

I agree it looks like a video card issue. Confirm you have the latest driver.

Try turning off Hardware Acceleration, restart and see if that helps.

Hi @Anonymous,

As @kennyj suggests, use GRAPHICSCONFIG to turn off graphics features such as hardware acceleration to see if that fixes the issue. I suggest you also check to see if newer drivers are available for your graphics card.
