| | Help - Windows Title Bar Text is Smeared / Distorted Can anyone help me fix this issue? The text in title bar on open windows is "smeared" or distorted. It seems to be associated with movement mouse. The best way that I can explain it is that the text seems to fold and the stretch down the screen. When I move the mouse it will seem to smear more or less in coordination with mouse movement. It seems to be only aesthetic and doesn't affect the performance. This has been happening for months and is quite annoying. Here's a link to a typical screenshot. http://s141.photobucket.com/albums/r...BarSmeared.jpg I am running Vista 32 (not SP1 yet). AMD 4400+ Dual Core CPU. 2 GB RAM Nvidia 7900GS video card. All the latest updates/drivers are installed. I am hoping this is just a simple setting for my video card. However, I have tried a few of the obvious things (resolution, refresh rate, etc.) and nothing seems to help. Help! |

Maybe try the card in another system for testing. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |
