Double vision in WP X5

[blockie]

With WP Universe closed I don't know where to put this.
In WP X5 I get what I call double vision in the area around the menu and [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important]tool[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] bars when ever I edit a document and save it. The entries on the menu or tool bar become inoperable. The only thing I can do is close the program via the RED X. See attached.

Hi blockie

Have you installed the latest service pack(s) for WP X5? If not, download link is listed here:
Patches and Updates - Patches and Updates

Another thought - does the same thing happen if you are not running in XP mode?

Attached is jpg of menu and toolbars in WP X5 after installing service pack. Still there. I noticed today that the same thing occurs in a photo program I occasionally use, "InfanView". So now I am beginning to suspect the OS, W7.
I do not use or have installed XP Mode. Must update my profile.

Do you have a Windows theme installed?
If so, change it back to the default Windows one temporarily and see if that makes any difference.

 

[blockie]

I changed the Theme to Windows7 / Aero. Is that the default?

 

[blockie]

This a full screen picture of the Theme I have in now. Still have the problem.

 

[Irene]

That is the default, blockie.

The only other thing which comes to mind, is add-ons. Have you perhaps added something around the time it began to happen?

 

[blockie]

It's been so long I can't remember. But I don't think so.

More odservations:
Both in WORD PERFECT X5 and Infanview it happens when I click on the final PRINT button.
New printer, but it was happening a long time before that.
Will try it out printing from other programs and let you know.

More observation resulted in thr following:

QuattrPro,Calendar Creator and Nuance PDf viewer are affected the same way.
Did not check any others.
Again suspect something in the OS.

This rings some bells - I seem to remember another member having a similar problem. I think it was something to do with checking or un-checking background printing. I'll have a look around and see if I can find it.

Edit: Just found the post - unfortunately it was condensed print.

I am sure someone else has had this problem, but I just can't recall how it was resolved.
Maybe someone else can. I will ask other members.

Hello blockie, sound frustrating.
You can try downloading a new Graphics driver from nVIDIA NOTE: the 270.xx is the most stable at the moment, the newer 275.xx has caused problems with flickering and lines. Download and save to your desktop before the next step.

You should use Driver Sweeper 3.1.0 to uninstall your current driver, reboot and install your downloaded driver.

The programs may be reading from printer settings too. Check your settings for some display or page size/settings. Try reinstalling the printer software also using Driver Sweeper.

I have an ATI Radion HD 3200 . I'm assuming you wish me to replace the driver from nVidia?
I have downloaded both but do not know what to do with them. Tell me?

 

[blockie]

Used Driver sweeper to determine what my drivers are . AMD for the display is shown. Should I clean it and install the nVIDIA instead. I assume from your post that 270 is recommended. I DL'd both the 270 and the 275. If they don't work is rollback feasible?
