Dead Pixel? Or not?

If I turn Aero Off this dot goes away....

ITS NOT A DEAD PIXEL!

Try change theme?

Ummm yeah. If it happens on both computers, then something is wrong on both computers.

Maybe you are using the same program on both computers that messes things up. Scan for malware.

Try downclocking your video memory. Maybe it's overheating.

or maybe it's just a dot on your wallpaper....

He clearly stated that "ITS NOT A DEAD PIXEL!"

I've seen one 'virus' that does this, it was really just there to annoy you (that is IF you noticed it)
And also, your running those gadgets on both computers, try closing them and make sure the process is dead
Reboot in safemode, and post back screenshots...

well I shut off my computer and restarted and it still has the little dot with or without gadgets...

As i said, try safemode

Booted into safemode and the dot was gone...

SOLVED!

Figured id trying ending some processes to see if the dot would disappear... I ended waol.exe (america online beta) and the dot disappeared! (This program is also installed on the laptop)

Sweet! Thanks for all the help guys...

then disable one and one startup item and restart inbetween, see when the dot dissapears.
im guessing its one of the gadgets you have

Edit: solved, ok cool
and ive never liked AOL, useless imo (just my opinion)
