XY graph - portion of plot disappears and reappears

I am having a problem with an XY graph which is displaying data that are continuously collected from 3 AI channels. Every time the graph updates whole portions of the plots disappear and then reappear during subsequent updates. The actual data are still there (can be probed with a cursor) but the graph display doesn't show it. I attached two images showing the problem. In 1.bmp all three plots have the exact same # of data points but the green and red plots are not displaying toward the end. In 2.bmp all plots have several areas that have blanked out. 

 

 

So far I have tried:

 

Changing priority in task manager to high: did not help

 

Slowing down graph updates: did not help. the problem definitely follows the graph update frequency though. If the graph updates every .5 seconds the problem only occurs every .5 seconds. 

 

Turning on antialiasing: fixed the problem but computer slows to a crawl. (integrated graphics)

 

Switching computers : fixed the problem. 

 

Minimizing and Maximizing the window : did not help.

 

 

Computer specs where problem is occuring:

I3 2100 ~3ghz

3gb ram

integrated graphics

windows xp

labview runtime 2012

 

Next I will try a computer with dedicated graphics card. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Thanks!

Hi,
how much points does your XY graph have ?

Around 3600. The number of points in the graph doesn't seem to have an impact though. The problem occurs even when the graph has just started plotting.

Update:

With a new computer that has a dedicated graphics card the problem has gone away.

New computer specs:

Core 2 Duo ~2ghz

2gb ram

Radeon x1600

Windows XP

LabView 2012

 

Still wondering why the other computer has a problem though; in most respects it's faster. Maybe something to do with graphics drivers?
