ATI/Small white dot,what is it?

[peter c.a.hawkins]

After updating ati ccc today to 8.1 i now have in the top left hand corner of
my screen a tiny white square,about 3/32 square.
Can some wise owl tell me what it is and why does it appear, it is obviously
some thing to do with ati,but what.?

Sounds like a stuck pixel.

Try turning your monitor on and off a few times.

Try reinstalling the ATI software.
Reboot your computer.

Same problem here. It is not a stuck pixel.

Uninstall the recent ATI drivers.
Reinstall same or older version.

Or, "Roll Back Driver".

What version of the ATI drivers caused this white dot, Michael?

Yeah everyone who updated to 8.1 has the same thing. We don't see any
functional problems with 8.1...at least not yet...just the white dot in
the upper left hand corner.

It only appears when the system tray icon is loaded.if you click on exit on
the tray icon the white dot disappears.how strange ati.!!!!

Although my name isn't Michael, I can answer that it is the recent 8.1
drivers.

Thanks. Better stick to 7.x for now, then.

Yeah we've got that white dot on 9 of our boxes with ATI VC's that we
updated to v8.1.
It doesn't seem to have any detrimental affect on anything that we can see.
