yea thats basically what is happeneing. it happens to all my files. and im sure it has to do with the video card/ graphics and not a mistake in the preferences.... im not sure any setting in the preferences would cause this... to be more specific, when this happens, all objects dissapear but they are still selectable. when i select an object it becomes selected in wireframe even though im in shaded mode...... any suggestions?
thanks
edward
