Graphic issues in Rhino 6 for Windows

I was using a Asus i7 laptop.

Rhino 6 failed to display dimensions correctly. It would cut off the lower part of the dimension text.

The Asus has now died and been replaced with an HP i5.

I still get the broken dimension display. I also notice that the file graphic created when the file is saved fails to appear in either windows explorer or the welcome screen when Rhino opens.

It has been suggested that Windows needs to be kept up to date. It is, but the problem persists.

Any ideas?

I think it would be helpful if you would post a picture of what you are seeing on your display and the output from Rhino’s System Info command.

These images should illustrate the problem. Thanks.

Can you still post the output from the Rhino command _SystemInfo? Just copy&paste the text that is available in the dialog box that pops up.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for your help.

If you had recently some Windows updates then it is very likely your GPU drivers got toasted. Find out the GPU you have (Right-click the Windows start menu, select Device Manager, then check under Display Adapters). Download from the correct manufacturer the latest driver (yours is said to be from 2016, which in computer terms is almost prehistoric) and install that. If it is an AMD or Nvidia GPU make sure you don’t install ReLive, GeForce Experience and ShadowPlay.

Thanks Nathan, I’ll give that a go.
