        Try to turn off hardware acceleration under Window > Preferences > OpenGL settings.

        If it "seems" to fix your problem, it is video card/driver related. What card do you have in your computer?

        If it doesn't help, please, attach the file (below the text area you are typing your post)

          Thanks a lot. I changed OpenGL settings and now looks already good. I was almost sure, that is the video card related, because my card is very poor ( Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family)and it is real time to change it including my complete 5 years old pc machine.

            Well, integrated chipsets do not do any good to SketchUp (or in fact any application that is more than browsing the Internet or writing a Word document).
