Guest mvtofino Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Hello Forum! I hope someone can help me remove the shadowing that is left behind on my screen when certain notification windows, dialog boxes, or drop boxes close. It doesn't happen all the time or with any apparent pattern or consistency, and the only way I have found to remove them is to log off or switch users back and forth. Usually the fix is short, but then other times it behaves properly for hours. The time lost is most frustrating, not to mention the difficulty reading what is hidden behind the shadows or my growing anger with this problem. I would surely appreciate any comments or suggestions.... and yes, I have already tried threatening the monitor with my Louisville Slugger baseball bat, to no avail ! Thanks in advance! JT
Guest Bob I Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Re: Help - can't remove window shadowing... Go to the web site of the manufacturer of your video card an get the current driver and install it. mvtofino wrote: > Hello Forum! > > I hope someone can help me remove the shadowing that is left behind on my > screen when certain notification windows, dialog boxes, or drop boxes close. > It doesn't happen all the time or with any apparent pattern or consistency, > and the only way I have found to remove them is to log off or switch users > back and forth.

Guest Nightowl Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Re: Help - can't remove window shadowing... Hi JT I agree with Bob about the video driver. Meanwhile, a fix that often works is to open a program such as your web browser and maximise it so it covers the whole screen. That forces the screen to redraw and often when you then minimise or close the program your screen is fine again. mvtofino <mvtofino@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on Tue, 11 Sep 2007: >Hello Forum! > >I hope someone can help me remove the shadowing that is left behind on my >screen when certain notification windows, dialog boxes, or drop boxes close. >It doesn't happen all the time or with any apparent pattern or consistency, >and the only way I have found to remove them is to log off or switch users >back and forth.
