Trace Reference shrinks

Trace reference is shrinking for some reason when I try to draw over it.
Any one else see this happen? Refresh brings it back no problem but this is not good.

See video.

Looks like a graphics card driver issue, try updating it to latest driver.

Thanks Erwin, I bet that is my problem.

I am also getting a message from time to time that says something like
"sorry but your graphics card has failed, but has been reactivated, would you like window to check for a solution" ... something like that. The screen blinks and I get the image back but something is not right.

The problem I have is that even if I did have the correct drivers installed ( apparently I do ) I don't know how to configure it for optimum performance with ArchCAD. The card has so many settings for optimized use with so may specific CAD programs.

I am using the NVIDIA 4000M in a Dell Precision M6600 - 2.8 GHz CORE i7 vPro - Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Perhaps I will try the AutoCAD optimized drivers for this card. ?
