Labview screen refresh bug (disappearing VI icons in diagram window)

Hello,

I have Labview 6 (fully patched with just about EVERY download NI offers on this site) running on a Windows NT 4.00.13.81 box. Since this is a screen refresh problem, it might be useful to mention that the graphics card is a ATI 3D Rage Pro (bought in 1999, driver versions 5.2.040, 4.0.0).

I think I've ran into either a Labview or a graphics card driver bug, because the VI icons in the diagram window seem to disappear every time I move the mouse over them. Minimising the window and maximising it again makes them appear (if only someone had included a "refresh" shortcut in Labview I could even learn to live with this!), but the bug persists. Shrinking and reinstating the diagram window co
nstantly is a reasonable way to work.

I cannot remember for sure, but I believe this bug appeared when I patched Labview 6.0 into 6.0.2.

Any help will be much appreaciated, this bug is frustrating and doesn't let me work!I really do not want to upgrade to Labview 7 either, as all my work is in 6.0.x and I have no time for major shifts in versions.

Thank you,

-Alexandros

You might also try setting the acceleration on your video card to none.
