wow this was fast. thanks people, i believe its the drivers problem, i have all the fancy fluff turned of, i cant stand to watch it. its an older generation graphic card, i guess its xp until I buy a new one.

thanks

HI. I noticed this with a few versions of sketchup, i usually have dual os installed, win xp, and win 7. I have all the drivers and stuff for both of them, and i update all of the drivers on a regular basis. Anyway, I noticed that sketchup and also autodesk stuff and videogames simply work better on windows xp, right now im experiencing this problem with a .skp project I made on windows xp os, and its loaded with textures, its kind of complex, it works ok on win xp i can rotate it fluently with textures and shadows but when i open it on my win 7 sketchup ( the same version of sketchup as on xp ) its glitchy and hard to work with, even when i reduce the view to "hidden line" (the white stuff only with edges). I cant make sense of it. is there anything I can do to improve 3d performance on my win 7 to be like on win xp, coz i like win 7 better and i would like to finally get rid of xp.
