I recently got a new computer. Since then, line 1 on my dimensions, intermittently turns off. I have previously had this problem, but not nearly as often. I don't believe I am causing it, but I could be wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks Josh, seems to be OK now. While I have your attention, maybe you could help me with this. Since I installed Windows 8 on my new computer, I can no longer use Alt-X to get to the measures menu. Windows over rides the command, and takes me to a different screen. Is there a way to stop windows from doing that?
Thanks,
Bob

Ahh sorry I missed that it was Windows overriding you. I tried searching for a Alt+X related issue on Windows 8 but had no luck. Could you be hitting the Windows key instead of the Alt key?

Yup, been careful to make sure that I'm pressing Alt+X. I tried searching on my own, with no luck also. I was hoping someone else had the same problem, and found the fix. Seems funny it would be specific to my computer. It''s a brand new system, with a fresh install of Windows8, and an automatic upgrade to 8.1. I'm not very proficient on the tech side of things, but usually get by. Probably need someone with Dave's expertise to figure it out. Thanks for the help.
