Hey all .... Im experiencing a problem with AP4 ...Whilst working in the track view "sometimes" when i click on a sample (usual effect sample illuminates) it disappears ??..I try clicking "undo" to see if that corrects it but no, where the sample used to be remains blank??
Anyone shed any light on this?

cheers

You mean when you click on an event it disappears from the timeline?

I know that if the Paint Tool is active and your right-click, it erases a portion of an event (or the whole event if you hold down CTRL while clicking). The same holds true with the Erase Tool but in the reverse. (Right-clicking draws the event.)

Try pressing F5 on your keyboard (with ACID focused on the track view (ALT+0 (that's a zero)) to refresh the track view and see if the event reappears.

Try also updating your video card's drivers or turning down video acceleration. (Try also turning the refresh rate up or down a notch.) It almost sounds like your video card is failing to redraw, which could be a result of dodgy drivers.

HTH,

Funny you should mention the video card drivers I've had problems actually updating those from "MS"update.. The update recommends new drivers but after download is complete and the system reboots the screen resolution/color is way bad, the actual reading in display>>properties>>settings>>color quality, is stuck on 4bit and will not budge meaning having to roll back driver's....

Cool: thanx mD, I'll give those tips a try
cheers
