Graphical problems when running Archicad10

Anonymous

I'm trying to run Archicad 10 on my Laptop (Toshiba A100-683 ) , using Windows XP. Software like Maya is running perfect, but Archicad 10 doesn't. If Archicad is running and I swith to my desktop, explorer, internet etc then there are problems like disappearing pictures and parts of texts. If I´m trying for example to play a movie with Mediaplayer there isn´t anything to see. Also the title bar disappears partly and the texts on it overlap each other.
Even if I close Archicad the problems stay (so I´ve to reboot).

Does somebody know what the problem could be and of course more important how can I solve this problem?

What are the specs of your laptop?

This sounds like a problem with the video system, and MAYBE you are also having a QuickTime conflict.

Specs Toshiba A100-683:
Intel Core Duo T2250 1.73 GHz
1.024 (512 + 512) MB DDR2 ram
120 GB HD 5400 rpm
DVD Super Multi Double Layer (DVD-RAM, DVD±R/±RW)
LCD TFT 15,4 Toshiba TruBrite WXGA
Ati Mobility Radeon X1600 256 MB (512MB HyperMemory)

I couldn't find any settings to change the "Vertical Synchronization". Maybe this isn't possible?
