Thanks a lot..I did a search before I posted the question I must have missed it. I have used the program for months and love it but recently changed some settings sure enough that was it. Thanks again. J,P

From the SketchUp Help Center:
"Why do I see a white or black box around my cursor when I'm using SketchUp?"http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=36255
Reference to 'color quality' (synonymous with 'color depth') is to your 'Display Properties > Settings' for your computer (Windows machine?) Here you should be able to set 16-bit or 32-bit color 'depth.' You should set it to '32 bit' to best use SketchUp.
16-bit color ('Highcolor') uses 5 bits to represent red, 5 bits to represent blue, but (since the human eye is more sensitive to the color green) uses 6 bits to represent 64 levels of green. These can therefore be combined to give 65,536 (32 × 64 × 32) mixed colors.
32-bit color refers to 24-bit color (Truecolor) with an additional 8 bits, either as empty padding space or to represent an alpha channel. Truecolor uses 8 bits to represent red, 8 bits to represent blue and 8 bits to represent green. 256 levels of each of these three colors can therefore be combined to give a total of 16,777,216 mixed colors.
Older computers may not support the higher color-depths. You'll have problems with SketchUp on such machines.
