I have a problem when switching from paperspace to modelspace. THe drawing allows me to do it once. After that, the next time I go from PS to MS the drawing is "skewed". THe crosshair appears skinny and the drawing is "squished" and when I click, the window begins further to the right. I can go back into PS and everything looks fine. I can work inside the viewport fine but if I try to go to MS I will have the same problem. I can save and reopen the same drawing and everything is fine until I switch on the second time. It seems to be happening on all drawings.
 
I am running AutoCAD 2002 LDD, with WinXP on a dell D630 laptop. THis didn't happen to me when I ran the same stuff on my HP. Could it be a graphics card?

What are your system specs?

Is your viewport locked or unlocked?

How is your UCS set at the moment?

When did the problem first occur?

AutoCAD 2002?  All updates applied?

I figured it out. I had the properties box docked to the left hand side of the screen. When I close it, the problem goes away!

Those self-inflicted gunshot wounds are real killers.

Do you have all the updates and hotfixes? I thought they tried to fix that a while back.
