Lot Editor Issue - Windows 8

[Ryan B.]

Hello, all!  Apologies if this thread is in the wrong place.  I'm getting back into the game (and back into churning out highway signs, o'course).  I'm having some trouble with the Lot Editor. 

I'm running Windows 8, and when I start the LE, everything's fine.  When I select a lot (for example, the grass lot I use to arrange signage), the display in the LE window goes whack.  Things turn very spindly, very quickly. 

Has anyone else come across this error on this OS, and if so - how does one get around it?  I've attempted to re-start in compatibility mode for Win XP SP3 & Windows 7, both with no joy.

Thanks so much!

EDIT:  Found my solution.  Had to switch to software rendering.  I'm rocking & rolling now!
