why do my objects just disappear on me???

[jvandenhul]

I've been a user since draw 3 and for some reason on this computer my objects are there but I can't see them after working with them a little. If I close and reopen the file they are there again, until I change or add a few things.

sounds like a video drive issue - if you boot into safe mode, is the problem reproduceable? If not, then it's definitely your drivers - you may want to go to your video card manufacturer's site and download new drivers.

I'll try that thanks! I have a ATI All-in-Wonder 8500 if there's any specific issue with this please advise.

How much RAM do you have? I used to have that problem too. Until I upgraded my PC to over a MEG of ram and got a 100GB hd. What version of Draw are you running?

I often had to click (Refresh Window) to see the "disappearing items" and remove the "appearing items" that weren't actually there.

I think it mostly just a system quirk that I only run into when I am running many apps and doing complex functions.

I'm running draw 11 and 9. I have 768mb ram and 30gig hd at 7200 at133 on a 266bus. I've got a another hard drive on the way to hook up as a secondary drive for storage, so I can transfer some of the files and programs to it. I turned down my resolution to 16bit 1280 x 1024 instead of 32ibt. It seems to have helped, I guess, but I want to get it back up to 32bit.
