      Hi all,

      I am not sure what I have done but I tried to down load the Skins plugin the other day. I put it in the wrong place because it wasn't working so I decided to go back and delete it..... I must inadvertently deleted something to do with the Shadow settings cos they just plain don't work anymore. πŸ˜’ πŸ˜’

      My question is, is there a simple fix for this or am I better off deleting SU from my hard drive and re-loading it? Any help would be appreciated. You can probably tell that computers and me only just tolerate each other. πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„

      Stan

        Hi Stan,

        Can you still see what's in your recycle bin?

          Gaieus,

          Yep, first thing I did was go back and restore all I had deleted, but still doesn't work.

            Then it must be something else. Try this: go to menu Window > Preferences > OpenGL settings and disable hardware acceleration. If this seems to fix the issue, there must be something wrong with your video drive (which controls shadows).

            NOTE: this is not a solution - just to determin the cause. Without HA your SU might work considerably slower.

              Gaieus,

              I did as you suggested, still not working.....it certainly is slower with HA off alright.

                Well, at least we could exclude video driver issues. However I'm now quite clueless - maybe a reinstall will indeed be needed (although you could wait till others also chime in).
