Graphics artifacts on Acer laptop
My girlfriend has an Acer Aspire 5741 laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GT320M video card. However, it displays some annoying artifacts when using any Nvidia drivers, even the Nvidia drivers provided via Windows Update. The operating system is the supplied Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
I would like to note that when on the login screen there are no artifacts. Uninstalling the Nvidia drivers and using the default generic VGA drivers there are no artifacts when in the OS either, however the resolution is limited to 1024x768 and native is 1366x768 so it is a bit stretched.
I've used the "clean install" option when installing Nvidia drivers and I've also used the Guru3D Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode to remove left over drivers, but no success. There is no need to have full performance, but at least using the native resolution is wanted. The warranty is out also...
