white box when moving items

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hey guys! i havent been on here in awhile, mainly because everything has been running pretty well on my lappy for a while. i've got a new issue though, and i was hoping to get some assistance. i noticed today after my computer installed internet explorer 8, that if i open a window, then drag it on the desktop, it leaves a white trail behind it. its really weird. i've downloaded the latest drivers from dell, and just installed them. everything seems to be set right, from the resolution, the the sli enabled. but i'm at a loss. everything else on the display seems good, but like i said, whenever i move a window around, i get the white trail the size of the entire item i'm moving. i've also had problems with the computer actually locking up when viewing mpegs in windows media player. i'm not sure if these two are realated or not. my computer will freeze, then i've got to hard boot it back. when it restarts, it says i recovered from a fatal error, then takes me to the website, where it lists a graphics driver problem as the cause. could my graphics cards be going out or something? i'm gonna call dell xps support, but figured i'd get my real advice from my old pals!

I would suggest using a driver cleaner and then do a clean install of your driver again

thanks dave, i ended up going back and restoring my hard drive from a backup a week ago. i was on chat with tech support and they did as i figured they would and jacked it up even worse than before. i'm back to normal now.
