Windows 7: Firefox artifacts on (classic style) taskbar?

Marsby · 04 Jun 2012

I am seeing small artifacts on the upper edge of the taskbar (using classic view, I could use Aero if I wanted to). I'm not convinced that this is actually browser related, it is just that since I have a browser up full time, that is what is leaving artifacts behind. If I resize the bar, IE drag it up a notch and back to normal again, the artifacts go away (basically a refresh..).

Code:

OS Name    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Version    6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
System Model    TA770 A2+ SE
System Type    x64-based PC
Processor    AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor, 3200 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical 
BIOS Version/Date    American Megatrends Inc. 080014, 7/31/2009
SMBIOS Version    2.5
Windows Directory    C:\Windows
System Directory    C:\Windows\system32
Boot Device    \Device\HarddiskVolume1
Locale    United States
Hardware Abstraction Layer    Version = "6.1.7601.17514"
Installed Physical Memory (RAM)    8.00 GB

Using a older version of graphic drivers as they're stable for everything else...

Code:

Driver Packaging Version    8.911-111025a-128244C-ATI
Catalyst Version    11.11
Provider    AMD
2D Driver Version    8.01.01.1207

Direct3D Version    7.14.10.0873
OpenGL Version    6.14.10.11251
AMD VISION Engine Control Center Version    2011.1025.2231.38573
AMD Audio Driver Version    7.12.0.7702

Any thoughts other than knowing for a documented fact that this is a driver version issue?

Thanks
