Operating system: Windows 11  
Slicer version: 5.8.1, 5.10, and 5.12  
Expected behavior: Moving ROI bounding box during volume rendering  
Actual behavior: The entire screen changes to a black background with double arrows.

Hi all,

I have a student using 3D Slicer that’s run into an issue when using the ROI in Volume Rendering. Video of the behavior is here - [3D Slicer Error.mp4](https://fau-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/jknaub2020_fau_edu/IQB1U6aI5bH7QbzmKs3caQ1pATs-06yeC9AtkyW0L56z-m8?nav=eyJyZWZlcnJhbEluZm8iOnsicmVmZXJyYWxBcHAiOiJPbmVEcml2ZUZvckJ1c2luZXNzIiwicmVmZXJyYWxBcHBQbGF0Zm9ybSI6IldlYiIsInJlZmVycmFsTW9kZSI6InZpZXciLCJyZWZlcnJhbFZpZXciOiJNeUZpbGVzTGlua0NvcHkifX0&e=Ue8JE1)

This is only occuring when the ROI is toggled on. When it’s off, it works normally. I had her restart 3D slicer, she was able to replicate this issue with 5.8.1, 5.10, and 5.12. She uninstalled and reinstalled SlicerMorph as well. She was able to replicate this on two different PCs (same model as eachother - Dell Pro Max Tower T2, Intel Core Ultra 9, NVIDIA RTX 6000 ADA, 128GB RAM). I had her load in her scan at half resolution and she had the same issue. She tried both CPU and GPU rendering and still had this screen pop-up. Any idea what’s going on/how to fix?

Many thanks in advance!!!

-Jamie

You likely need to update the NVIDIA driver. See this post: [Adding landmarks using Point List results in screen glitches - #3 by jamesobutler](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/adding-landmarks-using-point-list-results-in-screen-glitches/47173/3)
