problem in refreshing graphics window

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I just installed COMSOL V 4.4 on my computer (for the first time, exciting :) )

Unfortunately the graphics window isn't refreshing.

After I build geometry, I can't see the new graph unless I change the size of the graphics windows. So I can't do anything because each time in order to update the picture in the graphics window, I need to 'trigger' it by changing the shape of that window.

I tried to set again the factory settings and of course it didn't help since it didn't work from the beginning.

How can I set the automatic refreshing of the Graphics window.

thanks,

Ron

I found a solution:
On the prefrences, I changed the graphic software from OpenGL to Direct9X.

The problem can also be solved for 5.0 by that changing. Great! Many thanks to Ron.

for me it was due to lack of graphics card. After installing it works fine.

Thank you changing the graphics software from openGL to DirectX works.

Thanks mate, this worked for my problem as well. I was unable to see the x & y values on my graphics window, OpenGL was the culprit.
