Here's the story:
My computer was running fine for two years, then one day
Visual Studio started acting strangely. The linker started
giving me access violations all of a sudden and the toolbar
buttons were not being drawn correctly. So I decided to do
some system maintenance. I defragged the drive (first time
in two years I ever did that) and installed the updates that
came out March 4, I believe it was.
Now I have this problem: My computer runs very slowly now,
but it only seems to affect the drawing of windows and
standard controls like buttons and scroll bars. It flickers
very badly and leaves huge blotches of gray as it tries to
redraw things. Everything else seems to be fine, though.
I scanned for viruses and looked for them with a few utilities,
but nothing seems out of the ordinary. I even uninstalled
most of my programs trying to figure this out.
What can I do to figure out what is causing this?
Thanks!
