Left is normal, right is when I click on it to rotate or draw on. Sorry I didn't think to post a picture at the time and wasn't sure anyone would respond, thanks though.
Graphics card is up to date ; Radeon HD 6950
I think I have hardware acceleration enabled, is there any way to check and be sure, I'm not sure where the option is for it, though I believe it had a pop up when reinstalling that asked me to enable it, I could be wrong.
Do you mean my hardrive problem? I'm not sure what happened, it just slowly died until it wouldn't start up any longer, it was possibly just old or worn out from use, not sure, it was the first one I've had fail on me. (sorry if you were asking for something else hardware related, I'm no master of computer problems in the slightest hehe)
edit: checked and hardware acceleration is enabled
