Poorly rendered assets

[Tracksupervisor]

This is my first post, so not sure if I am doing the right thing or in the right area.
I'm looking for some help in solving a rendering issue. Installed TS2010 Engineers Edition on a 64bit laptop running Win7 64bit some time back and all was originally OK or at least looked OK. Have used the DLS on a few occasions up until this problem first raised its head. Then I stopped as I thought the problem started after the download.

The Problem - see attached

Downloaded objects appear poorly rendered or incorrect colours. Objects can be trains, bogies, scenery, splines other objects etc.

At first thought it was graphics card issue, but when all other installed Auran content seemed ok I had to dismiss this
Then I was given a cdp file to install, and this object displayed the same way
I've re-installed TS2010 on 2 occassions since, but the problem still persists.:'(

Tried it on a 32bit pc, seems it installed and everything looks & feels ok.
Has anyone got any idea what is happenning here?
With my limited skills I am at a loss where to try next or what else to do.
Is it inherent with TS2010SE or is it an option issue?

Any help

you should try disabling hardware compression in the options of content manager.

Once you've disabled the hardware compression, go back to any downloaded assets in content manager and open them for edit then commit them. This will clear the error and you should be good to go from there.

Thanks John and others who have helped with this.
Have resolved the issue.
Slowly finding my way around TS2010EE so will probably have more questions in future
