Windows 7 Users: Remove White Cross Hairs When Drawing a Rectangle or Line

Q. I am using Windows 7 and have the Alphacam program loaded.  When I try to create a rectangle or a line, many white cross hairs show on the screen.  Is there a solution to this?

A. Yes. 
- If you have Alphacam running, save your work and close Alphacam. 
- Create a Shortcut for Alphacam on your Desktop. 
- Perform a right mouse click on the Alphacam Shortcut icon and select Properties.


Once in the Properties of the icon, select the Compatibility tab.



Select “Disable desktop composition” so that a check mark will appear.

Click on the Apply button.
Click on the OK button.
Launch Alphacam and the multiple cross hairs will no longer show on the screen.
