Re: Solidworks Assembly problems

The other is when I have my mouse over a face in the same assembly above, the dynamic highlight is not working.
They where working the day before, but now the assembly mode is messed up.
Right now, I have the 2010-2011 academic version, running in Windows 7 professional.
Is this just a problem with my computer, or do I have to re-install Solidworks?
Thanks
That's a graphics card driver issue; not all consumer graphics cards (and their drivers) play nice with SolidWorks, and some lead to weird glitching issues like you describe. I previously had issues like this.

It took a lot of trials, but on my computer I had to experiment with different versions of the NVIDIA drivers and switching between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 until I had a stable combination.
