Image Plane Problem

[peri68]

Up until today everything has been fine with my Maya7, but suddenly my image planes are becoming 'fuzzy' when i try to work over them.

All i've done that might affect the images behavior is to remove the gelato rendering plug in - but i have no idea how that would effect the planes.

The left shows how it looks 'normally'.....on the right is what happens every time i select an edge, face or vertex to manipulate it. As soon as i 'release' the object, the plane comes back into focus.


Any ideas on how to fix this please? - As i said, up until today everything has been fine.

A few specs
AMDx2 4200
2x nvidia 7800 gtx's
2gig Corsair XML mem
Abit A8N Fatality mobo
2x 74gig WD Raptor Raid Stripe
4x300 Sata Gen 2's


EDIT. Re-installing gelato made no difference to the problem, neither did uninstalling and re-installing maya.

The advice in this thread http://www.digitaltutors.com/chit_chat/showthread.php?t=2631
about creating a system variable of MAYA_SLOW_DRAWPIXELS with a value of 1 fixed the 'fuzzy' problem, but skewed the pictures on the image planes so that they were still un usable.

Somehow 'fast interaction' got checked
