Layer won't turn on.

[vrphillips]

This may be in here somewhere, but this new forum is dog slow on a brand-new quad core computer and searching is a real chore. Anyhow, I have 5 week-old installs of AutoCAD 2012 stand-alone on Win 7 Professional 64 bit platforms, and I'm having a couple of issues.

1- The crosshairs go away. Gone. Invisible. Outside Acad the cursor is there, on other dwgs that are open the crosshairs are there. But on random drawings, for no particular reason, the crosshairs just go away, and the only way to get them back is to close that dwg and reopen it. Whassup with that?

2- This may be something silly that I can't find the right setting for, but when I turn off a single layer, and then turn it back on, it is still invisible in the VP I'm working in. Layer Mgr says that layer is on/unlocked/thawed/visible in all VPs. The layer is visible in model space tab, and in other VPs on the layout tab but the one VP in which I turned it off. Only way to get it back is to use RESTORE in the layer states manager. Any thoughts on this? What am I missin'?

Yes, this site seems to be getting slower and slower. :(
Yes, I also get the cursor disappearing and I don't know why.
REGENALL ?

Tried that, didn't work. I just installed SP1 for 2012 and will see if that helps the crosshairs thing. As for the layer issue, I came back in here to say that I stumbled on the settings for the LAYOFF command (they were right there on the command line all along); it was set to freeze the layer in current VP, which is not what I want to do with LAYOFF. Dumb thing, right under my nose, found it, fixed it.
As for the crosshairs, at least two other seats, out of five in the office, are having that problem. I haven't had it on my machine, but am installing SP1 all around to see if that helps. It is very annoying.
