Weird Screen Issues - All of a sudden

[jnelly]

I've been using Sweet Home for about 6 weeks now to design basic basement and kitchen layouts and have really enjoyed it. I finally got to the point where I felt comfortable with the program and could use it effectively, and then all of a sudden I started having strange screen issues.

When I open the program, I get a grey rectangular box in the top left corner that covers the taskbar (File Edit Furniture, etc. as well as the shortcuts), the 3D library, and a portion of the field for drawing walls, etc.

Then, when you open a project, there are two problems. Number 1, the textures don't display properly. For example, instead of the carpet texture I want, it displays a greyish, multi-color mess. Number 2, the grey rectangular box described before now displays a portion of the 3D rendering.

I've tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling, but it is not working. The program is basically unusable at this point.

Any ideas?

The best idea would be to read the FAQ. Hope this will help.

The 3D / screen issue seems to be resolved for now, however a new problem has arisen. I'm no longer able to import new furniture into the program. Regardless of whether I right-click on a room folder and click "Import Furniture" or whether I hit ctrl+shift+I, or go to furniture tab at the top and select Import Furniture, the program does nothing.

Any ideas?
