Windows 7: Visual Display Glitch!

Faithful1 · 03 Nov 2009

Ever since I have installed Windows 7 onto my Dell Studio Notebook, I have come across a visual problem, now I did not have this in Vista prior to installing Windows 7, but I have a screen shot as to what the visual problem is, it goes like that very frequent, with the more and more windows i open up, internet explorer etc...I've been told this is a driver issue, can anyone confirm or help out?

That's a driver issue. Open up device manager. type dev in the start menu, and look for your gpu, then download the newest driver direct from the manufacturer.

Is that my Mobile Intel (R) 4 series Express Chipset Family? ifso, then it says that its upto date

Go to the intel website and let the add-on install in IE8. Then it will recommend drivers if your's are outdated. Integrated performance is pretty poor with Aero, what is your subscore for the 2 graphics categories?

3.7 for Desktop performance for windows aero
is that good or bad?

For that card, its OK. The higher, the better. That is roughly average. Have you got the newest drivers?

yeah i have a driver update program that notify's me if my drivers are out of date, and also, when i check properties of my my intel chipset driver, and click on upgrade, it says that it doesnt need anymore upgrading, or its the best one out.

Don't use driver update programs. They are using. Visit the Intel web site.

Use this if you have the ATI discrete HD 3650.

I've been having the exact same problem. I've tried updating my drivers through the Device Manager and also through Intel's site. I have a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family. I've rebooted multiple times, lowered my resolution and none of this works. I still am getting the same sort of visual glitches. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
