Why I can't draw simple line

Question

Sorry, I'm just a beginner and probably my problem is not a problem and it's something simple, what I just can't find in settings. 
 Please tell me why I can't draw a solid, simple line - I have it all the time half transparent & the compass looks not like in all tutorials which I've watched :/ Like compass on the hangover ;) 
 
 Many thank for help!

QV_D3DVERSION is a configuration variable, and can be found in the "Configuration..." dialog from the "Workspace" menu. That dialog has, on the left-hand side, and option to see all configuration variables alphabetically. If the variable isn't in the list, you can create it with the "New..." button. This opens a dialog where you can enter the Variable name (QV_D3DVERSION) in the top space and the value (9) in the next space for New Value. Click OK to store the variable, and use the File -> Save menu item in the Configuration dialog to save the changes to your configuration file.

Dear Oto. Thank you a lot!!! 
 Your suggestion let me think about the problem in other way. I spent 3 days on checking the app settings but the problem was somewhere else. 
 I found the solution: 
 I had to open MS properties and select 2 options: 
 1. Run this program in compliance with Windows XP (in my case) 
 2. Run this program as Admin

(Sorry it's in Polish) 
 Anyway thank you a lot!
