Intel - Graphical Aero Glitches

[peekj]

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? (see screenshot)

It happens randomly, usually when a window is being opened, moved, or maximized, etc. It's fixed by restarting Aero.

I assume it's a graphic driver problem with my Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1) card.

Just wondering if anyone else had this happen.

Oh, and it gets worse with time if I don't restart Aero...

im having artifact problems too... and i think its the WDDM driver or the OS beta's fault... since its just a beta..

 

[peekj]

Ok good, at least it's not just me

Hello peekj, welcome to Se7en Forums!


No, you're not the only one at all; have a look at this thread for one answer to it.

Keep us informed!

Thanks Ted,

that thread doesn't have an answer for my problem though, since it's focused only on Nvidia. But I do agree that hopefully a driver update will fix it. For now I've turned Aero off since I'm tired of restarting it every 2 minutes

Hello.

Yeah I just used it for a reference. I should have been more specific about replacing the WDDM 1.1 driver; sorry.

I get this with an ati mobility radeon 9600/9700. It is the same if I am using mobilitymodders vista driver or microsofts win 7 driver.

i have this b4 but i do 1 thing reinstal my driver and its ok now

Hello all.


There does seem to be problems with the MS WDDM 1.1 video driver. I'm also having issues with rendering in IE 8; even with the driver update for my video card.

Not having any problems with the MS WDDM 1.1 video driver here.

Welcome to the Seven Forums, folks. Enjoy.

New Intel WDM 1.1 driver was released two days ago. Just downloading it now. Will post here if it fixed the artifacting.

 

[peekj]

Yeah, not so much. Didn't fix it

 

[peekj]

Don't want to jinx myself but it appears as though downgrading to the latest Vista driver for my graphics card makes it work fine...

i got that on my start menu after playing COD:WAW then my comp just froze so i needed a restart.

I have seen that as well but only when I'm refreshing the WEI score which is what I see you are doing also.

anyone find a solution to this? this appears totally random, and i am forced to restart my system every 3 hours or so. i love windows 7 and that's bearable, but annoying.

 

[akimatsu123]

update: this glitch can be fixed by disabling and re-enabling Aero. I think this is probably a driver glitch, so we probably have to wait till the next release.

 

[peekj]

Yes, restarting Aero works. I was able to fix my problem by downgrading to the latest Vista driver for my graphics card instead of the driver that came with Windows 7 beta.

 

[akimatsu123]

I've heard that Windows 7 has a new graphics driver and that the one in vista is a memory/resource hog.

Is that true? If so, I would rather live with the current glitch than reverto vista's slow response speed.

Thanks

The Vista one has been working great for me so far but I suppose that may be different depending on what card you got.
