Windows XP on school systems window flickering When we move our windows around and even scroll down we get this flickering effect. We require assistance to fix this as it is really annoying! We can ask for administrative privliges if required, all we know at the moment is the screen resolution 1440x900. Will provite more if needed, thanks! | My System Specs |

Is this a single computer or a network? If singular, it would be either the video driver, or a bad video card. Install the latest manufacturer's driver in Safe Mode, after uninstalling the current driver with Driver Sweeper, or it's equivalent, if ATI.
If it is a network, I'm not so sure, because I imagine that each computer has it's own video card and driver, therefore the problem should be isolated to a single terminal, and not across the network. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

If it is a network, I'm not so sure, because I imagine that each computer has it's own video card and driver, therefore the problem should be isolated to a single terminal, and not across the network. The computers (25 in a class room or so) are conenct to a client/server network, they all have the same problem. The particular computer this was taken on is not the server but is a client, we as students do not have access to the server computers. We cannot install new drivers either, not sure what manufacturer makes the graphics card either. Its happening over about 25 computers that they just installed into a new classroom, they are using a DVI input for the screen, maybe trying to change the refresh rate will help or to a VGA cord. Also changing the resolution doesn't help.
Thanks. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 64-bit CPU Intel Pentium Dualcore E5200 @ 2.5GHz Motherboard Gigabyte EG31M-S2 Memory 4gb Graphics Card Radeon HD4670 Sound Card ATI HDMI Audio Monitor(s) Displays 24" Benq G2411HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Razer Lycosa Mouse Razer Deathadder Case CoolerMaster Hard Drives WDC WD5000AACS-00G8B1 ATA Device 500Gb

The problem must be with either the server or something between the server and clients. Generally, a DVI connection is superior to VGA, so I doubt that would be a solution, besides, the best that I understand the situation, each client has it's own monitor and therefore each has it's own video cable. 25 going bad at the same time is astromical odds. Are the clients and server hardwired together, or via WiFi?
EDIT: Isn't there a real administrator that is responsible for handling problems like this? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

If so there are settings on the server that can be set to reduce flickering. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell OP760 OS Windows 7 Enterprise (x64); Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) Memory 8GB Monitor(s) Displays 2 Dell 19" LCD Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Dell Mouse Dell Optical Internet Speed 40meg |

EDIT: Isn't there a real administrator that is responsible for handling problems like this? How the school newtworks work. You have a classroom full of computers/whole building full of computers, all these computers are connected to that bulings server or hub I'm not sure, then all those hubs/mini servers (all bulinging with computers have one) are connected to the main server in the library. We access the computers/server from a login given to us. Each client (all computers in the school) have their own monitor, I presume they all have their own GFX card too. There is a Head of ITS... though she Isn't someone I'd ask about this... (she uses right+copy) I have asked my ITS teacher about trying to fix it but he hasn't gotten the time to check the computers at this point in time.
