Screen refresh/flicker problem?
Hi!
I've recently formatted and re-installed XP in the usual way I have done for years. I installed all my drivers etc. and the latest ForceWare but I have this problem now. I was using uTorrent (legitimately) and the program did something I never seen before which was like kinda refresh after 6-8 seconds a few times, then it would stop. I never had this before and so I tried to ignore it. Now when I play games, in some of them I will get these sudden black horizontal lines appear. Just one usually and it's on and off, at a random area on the game. This doesn't happen on the XP desktop but stuff like Notepad do that refresh thing about 2% of the time. I initially installed the UK drivers for ForceWare... could that have caused this? I did overwrite them with the US ones and then remove from the control panel and put the US set on again but still I had the problem, even when XP booted with the native drivers. Has anyone got any ideas what this might be? nVidia GeForce 7900 GS SB Audigy 2 ZS 19" Dell Monitor @ 60Hz No overclocking Intel Core Duo @ 2.66GHz 2Gb RAM Any information would be most appreciated! Thanks! Jam it back in, in the dark.

The region of your driver doesn't make any difference soft-ware wise, it'll just contain 'color' instead of 'colour' and whatnot.
So you say this problem happened after your re-installed, and started to use uTorrent. I doubt uTorrent is the real problem. Find a way to fully remove your nVidia drivers (Google that), then head to www.nvidia.com and re-install the nVidia motherboard drivers and then the nVidia gfx-card driver. Also make sure you are running DirectX 9.0c. If this doesn't help, I think your graphical card is faulty. Try it in another machine/try another card in your machine. There's nowhere I can't reach.  |

I found out what it was...
Intellipoint! Apparently a bug in IPOINT.exe with the mouse that flickers the screen all the time. Figures it would have been M$... :P Thanks for your help though Grawl! Did everything you said before stumbling accidentally on the solution! ^^ This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
