White pixel/dot top left corner of screen?
So I just got my new Dell studio xps 16" laptop on Saturday. I reinstalled using my own Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit disk and have had absolutely no problems.
However today, I noticed that there is a single bright white pixel in the top left corner of my screen exactly at the (0,0) position.
It seems to only show up on the desktop, because running pictures over the corner where it shows, it does not show up. I also have run several programs to check for dead pixels, and it does not show up.
I know it is not a dead pixel because it shows up in a screenshot which I have included.
My video card is the Radeon 4670 1GB.
I have found a few threads online where people have the same problems but none of them really gave any soloutions.
I have found that if I terminate the wdm.exe (Windows Desktop Manager) process it disappears. However, that stops my window peeking from working.
Another thing, it does not appear right after I log in, maybe about 10 seconds after windows has loaded.
Any ideas?
