      Hello all

      I have been using sketchup for a couple of years on and off just for fun drawing some houses and interiour. I just love the program and have never had any problems untill yesterday.

      I have changed computer and ofcourse i want to install sketchup also so i did its a portable FSC T4220 with Vista bussiness on it everything went ok but when i try to draw something my pen is "flying" about 10mm above the surface where the marker is...
      It is very hard to draw this way almost inpossible actually..
      I am sure there is a setting to fix this but what??

      I hope you understand my problem and have some tips!! for me...

      Best regards

        I don't know anything about Vista, but I think this was reported in a post a couple of days ago, and the poster was able to correct it by starting to run SU in XP compatibility mode (I think the settings to do this are to be found by right-clicking the program icon).

          Reefster, does your computer have a dedicated graphics card? If not, try turning hardware acceleration off (in SU preferences), and see if that corrects the problem.
