Lines showing dashed

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with my autoCAD on my laptop. When i see the drawing from i distance the drawing in showing fine, but when I zoom in the lines is show "dashed" or not visible at all.

I have tried changing the GRAPHICSCONFIG and turn on and off hardware acceleration, and when it is off it gets better but then the edit lines are very uncomfortable to look at.

I fear that it is something with the resolution of the screen that is not in line with autoCAD. Does anybody have any ideas of how to fix it?

It happens on all my drawings when viewing it on this computer. It looks like the resolution in the Autocad don’t align with the resolution of the screen. When I select an item in drawing space it is almost impossible to see what I have selected as the blueline is to thin to show.
