Vista - Very weird display problems...help...Thanks

Please help.
I have an inspiron 6000 (ATI x300 128 Meg)
I have an external dispay of a Dell 2405 FPW
and I just received my Windows Vista Home Prem.

I get everything installed and it works ok. However when I view with my
external display, There is a screen jitter on the screen. It starts from the
top of the screen, jitters left to right a few times very fast, then goes
down an inch and does it again, all the way down, then starts over.

I have updated all drivers...What could be causing this?

Thanks so much..

Rob

Well no one seems to have this problem, and XP does not display it, so I am
going to return Vista.

Thanks.

Same problem, only in IE when I open Favorites. This is when I get the
screen jitter, very fast. I have Ultimate and did a conversion from XP.

I have no solution other than the one you suggest...return.....Rogue

Well I figured it out last night. Dell sent me a new monitor even though I
told them I thought it was a driver problem. I sent back my 2405 and they
gave me a 2407, same problem was there.

Last night I got fed up and said I am going to figure it out.

I uninstalled all the video drivers, then set the ATIx300 XP driver. Once
done I had no aero, but there was no jiggle or wiggle. I then went to ATI's
site and downloaded the ATI Radeon Catalyst Beta VISTA RTM drivers.

IT WORKS!!!!! No screen problems at all, so this is 100% a driver issue on
Dell/ATI's part and needs to be corrected.

Thanks
