Cannot use Brush tool, whole image disapears from "pasteboard" (probably wrong name for it) Help Please!!!

[Spetz]

Each time I switch from layer to layer, or if I try to use the brush tool my Photo disappears. If it is a layer switch sometimes it will comeback if I click on it sometimes no. This is a new problem and I am going mad! Does anyone know what I can do to fix, short of throwing a tantrum...

Check your hardware acceleration preferences and update your graphics driver.
