Try to install the latest drivers for the graphics card and see if that helps.

Yes, this is because the Internal Engine does not use the hardware acceleration available in OpenGL.
But you will also notice that it is much slower than OpenGL so I think you will still want to get this problem solved so you can use the OpenGL Engine.
Edit: By the way:i have Vista 32-bit.

Hi!
I'm having great trouble trying to work with ArchiCad 12 in Vista.
I have Vista Home Premium, and everytime I try to save what I've done in AC, it shuts down... What can I do about it?

Thanks!

@Cjman - Try turning off Aero. Just change your windows theme to Vista basic or Standard.
