It has an integrated graphics card, and I realize now that it may not work well, but it's been working up until now. When I open the program, only the bottom right 1/4 of the window has a grid and is workable space. Do I have something set wrong? Thank you.

Do I have to system restore every time I open the software? Apologies for the new thread on the same problem. I couldn't reply to the old one. I know it's good software, but apparently my brand new laptop is a hunk of junk.

I couldn't reply to the old one. I know it's good software, but apparently my brand new laptop is a hunk of junk. For information: I went to Edit/Preferences/System, enabled hardware acceleration (it was disabled) but turned it all the way down (it was halfway to full.) After I restarted, the software seems to be working normally. I did submit a ticket to tech support, both times, haven't heard anything back.

The tickets to Punch tech support are the correct steps, so they can check the issues in your computer (software and hardware), OS settings, etc. and also they will check your system, limitations, etc. Hope this helps.
