Note: Some users experience issues displaying the high quality photo-realistic 3D graphics within RoofWright. In almost all cases, obtaining and installing the latest video card drivers from the manufacturer solves these issues. If you experience such problems, please refer to the manufacturer of your laptop, PC or video card to obtain these drivers. Even if your computer or video card is very new, it is UNLIKELY to be supplied with the latest drivers so it is still recommended that you obtain them.
