My screen is frequently refreshing. This seems to happen whenever I save or
open something - a new program or even a file within a program. While
refreshing, the screen goes blank for a few seconds and then all of the
information, including desktop icons, are re-drawn. Information within
windows also goes blank. This problem seems to be getting worse in that it
occurs more frequently and the blank screen lasts for a longer period of
time. While this is happening, nothing can be done on the computer.
I am running WXP-Pro SP2 (the problem started before the SP2 upgrade). I
have a Dell 4400 w/1G RAM, dual 60G drives and a Matrox Millennium G450 dual
head graphics card with the latest driver.
I've scanned my drive with several spyware and virus programs and it's
clean. I also use Norton System Works regularly to correct registry
problems, although I can't be sure that it gets them all. Short of
reformatting the drive and starting over, is there anything that I can do to
find what's causing this and correct it? Thanks very much for your help.
