When I draw lines, they are invisible until I let go of the mouse button. Also, when I tug an existing line to curve it, it's also invisible until I let go. Really hard to draw when I cant see what I'm doing until after the fact; I have to guess what it's going to look like. I installed flash 5, but same problem. Is this a hardware or software problem?

Hi!
I would say it is a software problem. There is no way (that I could think of) that hardware would restrict you from viewing lines. If there was a hardware problem you probably wouldn't be able to use Flash, or any other software PROPERLY due to a handicap (ie. no mouse, keyboard, hdd, blown monitor etc). The only thing I could think of (other than just reinstalling Flash, which it looks as though you've done) is a complete software rebuild if this is mission critical stuff and you could actually be bothered to reinstall everything.
Get back to us if you manage to fix the problem without a software rebuild, I'd be very interested in knowing what was wrong and how you fixed it.
