| 271855 | 2004-09-13 04:22:00 | Hey there. I have a weird question. I recently installed xp pro and I'm pretty sure that since, something weird been happening. When I'm viewing a webpage or anything frankly just a picture. If I scroll up and down the picture suddenly has weird green and other coloured pixels appearing in small concentrations around the picture. It's really weird and a bit annoying too. I"m just wondering if anyones had this problem before and if so any suggestions? Cheers |

| 271858 | 2004-09-13 06:15:00 | Sorry Kibito, I am unable to help, I have never seen that before. I thought it could be selecting something with the mouse, but clearly it isn't. Hope someone else can shed some light on this for you |

| 271859 | 2004-09-13 06:22:00 | Would this have anything to do with a very busy taskbar? | Elephant (599) | ||
| 271860 | 2004-09-13 06:31:00 | Video drivers by the look of that. Because its in the captured image, its certainly in the video RAM. | godfather (25) | ||
| 271861 | 2004-09-13 08:47:00 | So what sorta solution are we talking. And by taskbar do you mean lots of windows open??? | Kibito (623) | ||
| 271862 | 2004-09-13 09:15:00 | Update the drivers for your video card - first thing to try. What sort of video card have you got - perhaps it's struggling with too little ram with all those windows open | Greg S (201) | ||

| 271864 | 2004-09-13 09:21:00 | Did you reinstall your graphic card driver when you reinstalled XP? Try installing the latest nVidia driver and see if this helps, or alternatively uninstall your current driver and then reinstall it. Windows XP/2000 - Version: 61.77 (www.nvidia.com). |
