Tipically, these type of problems are caused by the graphics acceleration card. Search in the web page of
your card if there are actualized drivers.
Another possibility is the following:
Try to start GiD safe mode (from the start menu) and activate use Software OpenGL
If the problem persists, try to deactivate the graphic hardware acceleration
(Screen properties-Advanced options).
Also try a different colour resollution (select 32 bits of colour for example)

Hi,
i have just downloaded the academic version for NT and have installed it, but i get odd pixelations covering the viewing window which goes when i load up a model, but when i then rotate or pan this model old images do not clear and i end up with a mess. Any ideas?
Thanks
Ryan

[ GiDlist ] graphic problem
Hi Enrique,
Thanks for your reply about the graphics problem. Nothing worked however but i did not try to disable the graphics card as i would rather not
do this. I will eventually be trying the software on another computer anyway so i guess it's not too much of a problem. I was also wondering however if
there are any good solvers that have been made compatible with Gid. I want to look at built environment heat and mass transfer but as far as i can tell
none of the solvers on your website do heat and mass transfer. Are there any others out there, preferably of low cost. I understand that any solver can be
used with Gid if you can tell gid the right format to output but I'd take an easier way if there was one.
Thanks
Ryan
