Hi!

I have bought a new computer with Win Vista 64-bit and a nVidia 8800GTX graphics card. When i use bounding box select in Cinema 4D R10.111 the bounding box erases the background while i'm dragging it:

If i switch over to Software rendering it works as expected. I have the same problem with both the 64-bit and 32-bit version of Cinema 4D when running on Vista.

I have disabled "threaded optimization" in the nVidia control panel as suggested somewhere here. That got rid of most of the "jerky/lagging" movement when rotating the 3d view, but it didn't help with the artifacts.

It's very annoying when i try to model and selecting points. If they are close together and i use the select "brush" everything i select dissapear until i release the mouse-button. Often i boot up my old machine (Win XP 32-bit) and continue modelling.

It's really frustating shelling out $$ on new faster hardware/graphics and not be able to use it.

Any suggestions welcome.

Try another version of your graphics driver software, either more recent or older, or even you could try using a third party optimized and cleaned up driver like the ngo drivers www.ngohq.com

Go to the properties for the C4D shortcut and change:

1) Run the program in Windows XP (Service Pack 2) compatibility mode.

2) Disable the desktop composition

I've found the OpenGL to be less 'artifacty' and the program seems more well behaved.
