Pixel junk everywhere

This happend on my Beta 7000 32 bit also RC1 32 AND 64 BIT. I have a BFG 9600GT OCE and the most recent drivers from windows update i have even tried the ones from nvidia.com for windows 7. It looks like this and if i put my mouse over it - it will disapear or if i move something ontop of it will dissapear and be fine again....but it happends every from on my Aol instant messages to browsing the inet. There is also 1 other issue sometimes my displays will flicker/turn on and off kinda like reset because windows 7 turns to performance mode for some reason i dont know why.. than turns back.. i guess another driver issue because i did also get a error saying it recovered the 87.xxx nvidia drivers... anyone else having this issues?

Another thing thats pissing me off is i keep losing sound on and off!! and the audiodg.exe explodes to 1.2GIGS +++ memory leak.. i'v read about that common issue but couldn't find a fix...

Is your videocard running at normal temperatures? Looks like massive artifacts. What soundcard do you have?

Xfi fatality - and yeah its normal temp - it run's games pretty good2...

Well from what I have read in multiple areas, there are some real problems with creative drivers in Windows 7. Have you tried removing the soundcard and the drivers and seeing if the problems goes away with it?

I dont think its a hardware or temporature issue as I get this ocasionally with a few applications such as mirc (which incidentally looses its aero).

Well by having some conflicting driver issues or things of that nature, if you remove the drivers and the card(so windows doesn't reinstall them or bitch) you might be able to see if that was truly the issue. Multiple people report problems with creative drivers, that is why i suggested/asked.

i am having a similar problem. i have pixels out of 'calibration'. eeven though it has got better, when i play civilization IV everything is out of sync and you can't read the text properly also it used to do the same thing your's did: recovered the drivers etc. try checking other forums as i have been doing i havent found a solution ill try and post a picture

ok here's a picture of microsoft word

Windows 7 64 bit after the upgrade we get the same pixel problem
