Snails - Response on Threads Part 6

Congratulations to Katya & Tibs on whatever it was you won

And good evening all, Baklava anyone?

I have another question for y'all computer wizards. I'm having a strange problem--black random rectangles appearing on my screen and sometimes parts of the page in their vicinity seem scrambled. It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to be annoying. They disappear when I hit refresh. I tried to google for solutions, but couldn't find anything helpful.

I have a Samsung monitor, a few years old, but I like it. Is it dying?

Hey!?! I've been getting that too

I'd eliminate software first, because the refresh clears it up.

Update all graphics drivers first. That's best done through the graphics driver people....like Nvidia or AMD or Intel.

Yes

Right click on "my computer", and click "properties"...run device manager.
Look for "display adapters". Look in that ('open' it/click on it), and tell me what it says.

 

[AttyPops]

Could be W7+Chrome issue. Could be old drivers too.

ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro

 

[AttyPops]

Ya did good.

ATI = AMD.

Make/model of PC please Katya. Can't tell what drivers yet. Or do you know if it's a "desktop card"?
