When I use Robotstudio 5.15 on my Win7 Laptop I have the problem that the screen does not update. Example: I change Rapidcode but can not seen what I type. Only when changing Window size or minimize and reopen, Changes are displayed. Same happens when opening/closing the task-tree.  
Same RS release on my Desktop PC (Win7) runs fine.  
Any suggestions how to solve this?  
I already checked for latest Graphicdriver.

Best regards.  
Mike

Hmm, strange problem. Have not heard of it before. What PC are you using? Does it have built-in or separate graphics card?

Its a Dell Vostro Notebook and as far as I know its a onboard graphics.

Can it be some setting in the energy management and how do I change it?

You can always check Control Panel\System and Security\Power Options and select “High Performance” to see if it makes a difference.
