Hi,

I have this problem where my vertical edit tabs on the left column (i.e. "basic", "deform", "duplicate", "mesh edit"...etc) blanks-out or whites-out whenever my mouse hovers over it.

Below is the "before" & "after" screenshots when the cursor go over the tabs.

Before cursor-over

After cursor-over

Any ideas?

What graphics card are you using? Got the latest drivers?

I get this on my laptop, but i'd say its down to it running out of memory as its only a radeon 7500.

Haven't seen it on my pc though.

Cheers.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for replying. I'm tending to think it's the graphics card too. My card is extremely ancient - Riva 128 ZX attached to...a Pentium III 450MHz system! The reason I can use it as a crash test dummy (ZBrush, Maya, Silo, etc... ) all this time is the 512MB RAM...so that I can keep my work machine's registry short & clean.

I just wanted to confirm that it's the P3 tanking and not a modo stability issue before I try it on my dual-processor, which isn't even connected to the net (except for updates...yes, paranoid would be an appropriate choice of word).

And why is it that other programs can run (even Maya) while modo glitches it up?

Thanks much.

My internet Pc(p3 450 too) had a non-integrated Riva128Zx before I stuck a Radeon in it.

OpenGL isn't exactly up to date on those,most games and softwares(Max etc..) would run but with glitches.I remember half-life would run better on DX with this card because textures were bugly.

It had almost surely one problem or glitch with each programs I installed.Everything went away when I upgraded.

Lastly,you need experimental drivers to be up to date with it,better get a new board or a new mobo.

Yes, none of those buttons should ever be white, even before the mouse over... Those should all be the brown color, so there's definately something wrong with the video drivers
