Hammer editor problems

[Zet Gaming]

So right now I'm trying to learn how to create a custom map, but in hammer editor, when I try to move the camera by left click dragging, it "zooms in" in a weird way, and when I try to move, the camera moves diagonally. And sometimes the view just "flickers", in the grid, sometimes when I mouse over it, it turns into a different view then turns back. It's really annoying, is it suppose to be this way? Sorry if I'm not explaining it well enough.

That didn't fix it. :\ but when I launch hammer on my other pc which is a desktop, hammer works fine, I'm using a laptop, hardware issue?

It's an issue I know people have gotten in the past normally what it turned out to be was something like a driver or some third party software interfering with it (I think it tended to be software that messed with graphical settings in some way).

You were right about the third party software thing, razer cortex was the software that messed up hammer, when I quit the program everything went to normal. Thanks. :D
