My front panel controls are disappearing after the vi starts. Anyone one know how to fix this?

I have some vis that ran fine on an older machine, but with the new computer controls on the front panel dissappear after awhile and can be made to reappear after closing and reloading the vi.  I am not doing any programmatic hiding of any controls.  The controls can also be made to reappear by stopping the vi and selecting them with a tool, but then they disappear again when you run the vi again.  I played around with "bring to front" but that doesn't fix the problem and read a post about OpenGL problems associatted with 3D controls.  Any ideas on what to try to fix the disappearing controls?

If you right-click on the terminal and choose 'show control' and then the control can be seen, then it is not hidden behind other controls, decorations, etc.  Just to ask a dumb question: have you right-clicked on the terminal and tried Find --> Property nodes to make sure that the control(s) is not being hidden somewhere in your code?   Are you passing any control refnums to any subvi's?

Maybe try updating the driver for your graphics adapter.
