Dodgy graphics rendering

Question

Hi,   Can any one tell me why my computer, and several of our other users, has a problem with image/form overlap/refresh when I scroll down?   We all have Dell Optplex 60's.   What happens: - If I scroll down and a form element or dynamic graphic is displayed I often get a 'repeat' of those elements or they simply do not display.   How I currently solve the problem: - I scroll up and down until it fixes itself.   As you can guess this is very frustrating.   I have updated my graphics and video driver from the dell website, but this has made no difference.   PLEASE HELP! :smileyindifferent:   Thanks

You have given No OS Version.
No Service TAG.
No video Card version.
No indication that you have a dell whatsoever.
Scroll down in what application?

Windows does this occasionally when its out of Memory.
There is no generic cure all.

Ok then I will add my 2 cents.

System Optiplex GX 260

Service Tag: Many different systems doing this in the office.

OS Windows XP Pro SP1

Application Word 2000 SP3 (Office 200 SP3 installed)

Display type Intel Intergrated with latest driver installed.

Problem: Words will over lap or not display correctly in the middle of the screen intermittently. You can min the document and restore it to the screen and things appear normally. Should I roll back the driver? Any one have any insight in to this issue?

I have found a different thread on this board that mentions using the Intel driver not the made fro Dell from Intel driver. I went to the Intel site and downloaded the one for my system. Seems it may have cleared up the issue.

Give it a try.

I have installed the new driver and I am still getting the problem :smileysad:. Any suggestions?

Make sure you have the current updates on your applications.  I had to update my office to sp3 as well.   Allen
