I am having a problem using Google Sketchup on my Vaio notebook with Vista. When it is first installed it works fine. The problem is that after I close Sketchup and open it again my tools do not line up where they should. Meaning that when I use the line tool I have to place it about 1/4" above any existing point in order to draw a line from that point. Same thing happens when drawing in space, the line doesn't line up with the tool. This would be like having to place the cursor 1/4" or so above anything that one may want to click on. (My cursor lines up fine just using that to try and illustrate the issue) When I uninstall Sketchup, reboot and reinstall the program it works as it should until I close the program and open it again. I have downloaded the program several times thinking my original download may have somehow been corrupt. When I install it I get a message that says "Warning: Your OpenGL Properties settings have been reset to their defaults. This may have been caused by resetting your Windows Display Properties or by tampering with the Sketchup registry". I have no idea what this means or if this is in fact is causing my issues. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
