You card might be freaking out b/c it is not meant for WDDM use...especially with it being a mobile.
I am assuming that all effects and such are turned off (and that you are using or trying to use the classic theme)? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number The Beast Model V OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Core i7 965 EE @3.6 GHz Motherboard eVGA x58 Classified3 Memory 3 * 4GB Mushkin Enh Redline CL7 DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800) Graphics Card eVGA 560 Ti 448 Core Classified + eVGA GTX260 SSC (PhysX) Sound Card Realtek HD Audio (on-board) Monitor(s) Displays 2 * Acer X213Wbd Screen Resolution 2 * 1680 x 1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Keyboard Mouse Logitech Performance Mouse MX PSU ThermalTake BlackWidow TX TR2 850 W Case ThermalTake Level 10 GT (Black) Cooling Corsair H100 CPU | 2 * TT 140mm TriLED | 2 * Antec TriCool Hard Drives 1 * Intel Cheryville 520 180 GB SATA III SSD |

Nvidia GeForce 6200 I have been getting the same problem with all builds of Windows 7 and all versions of nvidia drivers. The latest drivers (185.85) is the worst. I have a 9400 GT graphics card. I have reverted back to 181.72.
I really hope this is fixed soon It's the biggest problem I have with Windows 7.
