the laptop hasnt been with me that long to change the drivers for anything :) it has only been with me a few weeks. i shall try the nvidea settings and see if that solves it. yeah i know that if im the only one with the issue it is hard to pin point the issue ( if indeed it is moi or system related, but thought it was worth a post incase someone else has had the same etc etc)
i shall let u know if the settings changing solves it :)

If you want to test something, try disable UAC. then on the properties of your MoI launch Icon, right clcik, choose properties and on the compatability tab, disable desktop composition and Visual themes.
