Thank you both.

So it seems to be a video card/driver issue. Note that integrated chipsets will almost certainly NOT work well with SU (they are simply for some basic office and internet browsing tasks, not for something that needs full support of OpenGL).

There seems no helping it, the card won't co-operate. Several hours of frustration, and display crashes followed by sad acceptance. Strange since I think I remember using SU6 on it before ...The good news is that the Battle-Ax in the basement has a card that is working OK so far.(I refer to an old PC, not my wife)

Thanks again I will surely be utilizing this fine site and I'll have plenty of questions.

Hello. I'm a former ACAD modeler and I have shared and emailed and converted to and from Vectorworks on many collaborations. I am not new to CAD.
I have created a model in sketch up 8 that includes a few components from the warehouse. I copied all to a USB drive to continue working on my project at home. My drawing opens, I can see the preview and can see a "print preview" but my screen is blank white. I am prompted to save if I have moved the cursor before closing.
I have gone to Intel to install the latest version of the chip-set drivers for my Vista mobile PC to no avail. Though I currently have only 1 Gig RAM, so does my office PC and it works beautifully there.
I really need to be able to work at home.
Please advise.
