Okay, guys, he did apologize. (However, Jim, I don't expect any future help is forthcoming from those you disrespected & cussed...) ____________

The SketchUp behavior you describe sounds like a graphics deficiency. Either the graphics hardware or driver file doesn't support OpenGL to the degree necessary to run SketchUp. I'm guessing here, since you didn't state whether you're using a PC or Mac. Either way, we would also need to know what operating system you're using. Any additional information about your system, graphics card, etc. would also help to diagnose the problem.

You can read more about OpenGL graphics and SketchUp requirements here:

As a diagnostic test, try disabling 'Use hardware acceleration,' as described in the above document.  ____________

While I'm willing to respond to your question, I have to admit that I found Gully's initial response funny. (I almost responded similarly, but he beat me to it. If you had not later apologized, I too would have continued to ignore you.)
