ATI/Small white dot,what is it?

After updating ati ccc today to 8.1 i now have in the top left hand corner of
my screen a tiny white square,about 3/32 square.
Can some wise owl tell me what it is and why does it appear, it is obviously
some thing to do with ati,but what.?

Sounds like a stuck pixel.

Try turning your monitor on and off a few times.

Try reinstalling the ATI software.
Reboot your computer.

Same problem here. It is not a stuck pixel.

Uninstall the recent ATI drivers.
Reinstall same or older version.

Or, "Roll Back Driver".

Although my name isn't Michael, I can answer that it is the recent 8.1
drivers.
