Thanks, Michael!

That seems to be the root of the problem. I can somehow, sometimes, work in the split view, but all else breaks.

I have tried to install Catalyst, the video card control program, but that makes my computer unusable. Everything gets sluggish and I can actually see the order of window elements as they develop on the screen. I uninstalled everything and installed only the drivers again. I will search a bit on the Internet to see if this is probably a setting I could make in the registry.

Thanks again for your analysis!

Edit: I found a couple of AAA, AA, AF, AI, ST and TAA settings under my graphics card in the registry and set them all to -1. That looks as if it is working now. Phew!

That's great that you got it working now Ditto!

That is weird though that installing Catalyst caused such problems on your machine, that's not a great sign that the video driver is running well...

Also usually the default for these kinds of settings are to be off, did you have Catalyst installed and running ok at some previous time where the settings were able to be adjusted?

I had some issues with an ati card and drivers. Some of the oem cards just dont work well with updated drivers staight from ati.... You have to stick with the oem drivers and their last update.

ALso, with ati, they had a special utility to "clean all old drivers off" before doing updates. It wasnt built into the driver installer, but it's been awhile and that may have changed. I had best success when wiping clean before doing updates....
