Answers.Body: <p>I recommend you uninstall the current LDD software completely. You can download a 30 day trial of <a href="http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_uninstall_features.html" rel="nofollow">Revo Uninstaller</a> to remove LDD using the 'Forced Uninstall' feature. It's good for removing partially installed software, but it isn't necessary, you can use the Uninstaller built into your operating system to do a standard uninstallation.</p>

Body: <p>I've dug out the LDD application I found on an older hard drive.<br/>
  It seems however, that it has problems rendering the bricks and models:</p>

  <p>I am running LDD 4.3.8 on Windows7 Ultimate (64Bit) with Administrative Priviledges. I have DirectX 11 installed and I am using the newest NVidia drivers. I am also pretty sure, that LDD has run previously on this machine (though I am not quite sure, which version it was at that point of time....)</p>
  
  <p>Does someone know, how to fix this problem?

  I have found the problem: My "AppData/Roaming/LEGO Company"-folder somehow seemed to be a symbolic link to a non-existent folder. It did not help reinstalling the application, but I fixed the link issue -- which in the end fixed the whole not-rendering-problem.
  
  However, thank you very much for your answers
