hi all ,
sorry if this might be in the wrong area but i am unsure whether this is hardware or xp
http://www.pixelshack.us/viewer.ph [...] uakqau.jpg
I am getting a ghost of yellow pixels/blocks when i get to the desktop of my new build pc........when i drag around a window it gets worse.
when i minimize the window and open it again its gone...but dragging it round my desktop produces them again....is this a driver issue?..or xp?
spec is
Intel e5200 @2.5 ghz
2GB ocz platinum ddr2 6400
power color 4830 512mb gfx
xp with sp3 and all updates
gaming has been fine and good frame rates so far, i have up to date drivers and no other problems...its just this desktop thing..
any ideas peeps???

And not a feature of XP, at least not a feature I would want, 
Not my knowledge, but I suspect this is a video card issue, or perhaps a video card driver issue. Is that an ATI Radeon?
What happens in Safe Mode? In that mode the video card drivers are not loaded and XP displays on default VGA drivers. If you don't see those yellow blocks in Safe Mode, then that points to the card or drivers. If you do, then perhaps the monitor is at fault?

yes, uninstalled brand new downloaded video drivers and re-installed stock ones that came with card........all sorted..cheers
