Video problems

[Guest]

I am not sure how this happened but my video is now quite squirrely. The
problem occurs other places, but the simplest description is when I play
Solitaire. When I move a card from one place to another it is painted in the
new place as well as the old! As soon as I click anywhere in the window, it
is repainted correctly. In other applications, there is excessive
painting/repainting of the screen. Sometimes it's just confusing other times
it obfuscating!!

My video is Intel 82865G. I downloaded and installed the latest driver
(6.14.10.4396) this evening and it had no effect.

Suggestions?

What else is running, and have you rebooted recently? Does the system seem
sluggish otherwise?

When was the last time you cleared out temporary files and cleared the
caches?

ccleaner can help ease that; the Windows cleanup utility doesn't work very
well. You may wish to not install the toolbar and to keep cookies (or
not). Pay attention to the options.

You may find that Process Explorer gives you much more detailed and useful
information as to what's actually running.

Thanks for the suggestions. To answer your questions: Rebooted many, many
times. If the system was slower, it was only slightly so. Not really
noticeable.

However, the problem disappeared last night after I installed software to
support a new Nikon Coolscan film scanner. However, it's back again this
morning after a reboot. Does that help identify the problem?

I just read about CCleaner in Network World. I'll try it...

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks to Patrick's recommendation, I found that the problem was caused by a
program called GoPart from SupplyFrame. Needless to say it has been removed!

Problem solved!!
