Outlook 2007 repaint problems on Vista

[Kevin Dente]

I'm running Outlook 2007 on Vista (Business), with Aero Glass. It runs fine
for a couple of days, but eventually it starts having repaint problems - any
Outlook windows (the main window, open email windows, etc) don't paint
correctly - they glitch out, are half blank, only redraw half the window,
etc. The only way to resolve the problem is to restart Outlook. I've updated
my video drivers to the latest release, but to no avail.

Are other people seeing this?

What are the details of your graphics card and the rest of your PC?

It's a Core 2 Duo Dell Precision 390 (pretty new machine, only a few months
old). Video is an ATI FireGL v3400 with 128MB. Driver version is 8.31.100.0
(driver from ATI - was originally using the v3400 drivers that came with
Vista RTM, had the same problem).

I haven't come across this yet. Was this a clean install of both Vista and
Office? Did you transfered settings from another machine or reconfigured
from scratch?

No, it was an upgrade. First upgraded XP to Vista, then upgraded Office 2003
to Office 2007.
