Hello I'm using the last adobe update and  I don't really know how to describe my problem, but before (2days ago) I had a smooth zoom and now my zoom is like a square (like in the pic below) and I hate it. So what should I do to make the zoom be smooth again and not like the square pic posted below.

    If anyone is still wondering, there's a setting in preferences called "Animated Zoom" which enables the weird ugly square zoom animation. Just uncheck that.

      Scrubby zoom is dimmed meaning you have a problem with your graphics driver, Go to Preferences > Performance and see that Use Graphics Processor is checked on.

      Troubleshoot the issue using this help file.
