I have Altium Designer Summer 09 on the computer with Win7 64-bit and GeForce GT230. Since I first installed it I have a problem with displaying pin numbers and desccriptions of pins. They are simply not displayed. It behaves the same way with every component from any library. It must be some kind of bug becouse the pins are displayed correctly on other computers with different OS's (XP, Win7 32bit). Even in XP mode on my computer is everything ok. I tried AD10 and the bug is still there. Does anybody have any idea how to fix it? Anybody works in AD with Win7 64bit? The working in XP mode in Win7 or reinstall to Win7 32bit isn't the best solution.
 

before you reinstall make sure it is turned on. Check under "layer" "view options".
there are more options in the "PCB Editor - Board Insight Display". yo uwill need to play around with the pad and via display options.
 

Thanks, but I don't have problem with PCB Editor. It does work. The problem above is about Schematics Editor. You can see it in attached files..... the first one is in Win 7 and the second one is from XP mode under Win 7...
 

I've just found out what was wrong. I feel a little stupid. I don't know what happened but if I used my saved preferences in new installation on Win7 64-bit the nuber in "pin margin" was somehow changed to approximately -3126mm .... so I had pin names and numbers about 3 meters from my monitors.....
