Whenever I hover over a piece, it highlights properly. But then when I hover over another piece, that piece highlights, as well as the previous piece. How can I resolve this?

Whenever I want to highlight a specific piece by hovering over it, all previous pieces that were highlighted get highlighted as well. Solidworks Composer also runs slowly in general on my laptop (Dell latitude 5580) which may contribute to this, but a friend of mine has the same exact laptop, and he does not have any issues running solidworks at all. Is this something with the settings? Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Video card driver?
other programs running in the background?

If this is a computer for work clean out any unneeded programs, that may be running in the background. There are lots that want to get loaded on start up that you may use only once in a while. They get pre loaded to kill the delay when you start them. Id rather that they do not start until I ask for them to start when the computer starts running slow.

  Thank you for the reply. I originally thought it was the hardware, but then why is my friend able to run Solidworks without any problems? The laptop was just given to me, so there's barely anything on it. And even when it's the only thing running, it's still slow.

    Some one gave you the lap top for a reason. 90% of the time they run slow is that there is something running in the background. I can put the same #'s on two boxes and depending on what I fill them with they will look the same but act differently. I think that this is what you have going on here.
    Drivers....to ram.... and the processor, could have slight deviations what your friend has in his machine. I would look into all of that could be that the person that gave you the machine decided to take some of the memory out...
