View tools display is erratic

Question

For some reason my view tools aren't displaying properly. I have to drag my mouse across them to even get them to show. I am using MicroStation v8i Select Series 3 Version 08.11.09.459

My computer is basically new - updated within the last year. The graphic card has been updated and should be happy with MicroStation. I work with a big corporation and they usually do a great job of keeping us running. This is maddening. Has anyone else been having this problem and how did you fix it? Thanks, Kelly

You have not mentioned that you have Windows 10 on this system but as Bob Rayner has suggested here, you should be upgrading to a version that is certified and supported on this version. We would suggest installing either the latest release of MicroStation CONNECT Edition (Update 10) or the final release of MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 4).

 This is also in light of the update Bentley Support Policy where older versions support is being diminished.

 With this type of graphics display issue it is always worth checking with the hardware manufacturer of the graphics card to ensure you have the latest drivers. Have a look through the following Wiki for other items to check on your system relating to this issue.
