Problem with program borders and such...

[heartbeatracer]

I'm having problems with certain programs like IE and Firefox and even Yahoo messenger and Itunes...

When the programs are loaded the borders are all messed up and the screen where the program is open glitches badly and will flash while scrolling, and even blackout sometimes so i can't see anything on the program at all, and when I try to click the maximize, minimize, or close buttons they're visibly there but you have to click off to the sides of them and what not... does anyone have the same problem and/or have a solution...

I'm using Windows 7 ult x64, on a brand new alienware, graphics card isn't an issue...

Graphics card itself may not be an issue, but it does sound like a issue with graphics drivers.
A complete removal and reinstall of the graphics drivers would sort it if so.
Use this to uninstall not the uninstaller that comes with it
Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

Then just reinstall the latest ...I'm assuming you know where to get that, you didn't provide any specifics on system config.

i actually don't know where to go for that, on xp I know but for 7 i've never done driver swaps and what not

as for system config ? I don't know exactly what you mean

 

[Maguscreed]

using driver sweeper you don't have to worry about it. It will clean up everything itself.
If you can tell me what graphics card you have I can point you to a updated driver.

it's the nvidia Geforce GTX 460M o

and i'm not sure how to do this driver thing...

 

[Maguscreed]

Just select the nvidia graphics driver and control panel in driver sweeper and wipe them.

Fortunately it doesn't matter which of the cards you have, they use the same driver.
NVIDIA DRIVERS 275.33 WHQL

If you are nervous about using driver sweeper you can try just installing the new driver.

cool thanks haha it's hard to update when my resolution is humongous

 

[Maguscreed]

if you have too you should be able to increase to a near normal res just on the default system video driver.

 

[heartbeatracer]

oh boi now it says it's can't find the compatible hardware to install the drivers (

This is curious that driver should cover any nvidia card made in the last 7 or 8 years.

ugh is it a laptop?
you never said if it's a laptop you want this one.
