graphics setting

[Randy P]

Since i've upgraded PC's when I copy and paste graphics screen to MS Word the surfaces have holes,gaps and some are missing. It looks good in Pcdmis but not when pasting into Word. Can I change some settings?

I'm using 3.5 mr2 on win Xp sp2, ATI Radeon 128mg video card, Word 2000.
Thanks

First of all, get rid of the ATI video card. There are LOTS of issues with that brand of video card and Pcdmis. Myself, in my home PC, I love those cards (I have and all-in-wonder), but something about them does not play well with Pcdmis. I am surprised you are not having other issues as well.

One day I told the boss I wanted a new pc and that I had certain requirements for it. To my surprise a few weeks later one was delivered, I never had the chance to ok what he ordered. Just glad to have a new pc right now.
Have had no other isues yet.

Use video cards that are made for CAD or video editing instead of gaming type cards.

Radeon 9550 here

Perhaps this is the cause of my problem. We are trying to move PC-DMIS to another computer that has an ATI Radeon 9550 card. The main issue I am having right now is that when I try to bring up the Machine Interface Settings OR Settings editor, pc-dmis crashes. Interfaced to a DEA Gamma with Tutor-P controller, old versions of Tutor and Tutor for Windows (from Windows 3.1) are copied over and running OK, AFAICT.

Would there be some way I could tell if this is the problem without having to put in another video card?
