Corrupt edges on windows
Hello,
For the past few months, my Windows 7 system has a minor problem drawing the edges of windows, as shown here:
(see the junk on the left and right edges of the frontmost window).
I've updated my Nvidia drivers, but it hasn't changed anything. I've updated the Windows OS. I've just ignored the problem, but seeing as I'm not insanely busy at the moment, thought I'd spend some time trying to fix it.
Interestingly, if I try to grab a sceenshot of the problem using the Snipping Tool, as soon as I load the Snipping Tool app, the problem instantly goes away. But I managed to grab that sceenshot using the trusty old Print Scrn key. Also, if I move the offending window, it gets redrawn correctly. The problem seems to be random and not consistent.
Any suggestions anyone? My graphics specs are:
Nvidia Quadro 4000 driving a 27" Dell via DisplayPort and a Samsung SyncMaster (1680x1050px) via DVI. I also have an Nvidia GeForce GTX580 installed, not connected to any monitors (I use this for its CUDA processing for graphics acceleration in After Effects, Cinema 4D and Blender).
This also brings me on to another question - if I go directly to the Nvidia website to download new drivers, should I select drivers for the Quadro or the GTX580 card? Or does the same driver work for both cards?
Thanks,
Paul
