Not here.....

Why is it when someone screws up their Windows 7 system and it starts acting buggy they jump into the nearest forum and blast Windows 7 as 'BUGGY'......

Get down off your high horse.

Just because you have not had the issue, doesn't mean it's not real!

I have had this issue too. But it disappeared after a graphics driver update.

So... This is a driver bug and not a Windows 7 bug. Win7 may not be perfect, but place blame where it should be.

I wonder if it may be a resolution issue since there doesn't seem to be any connection tied with brand or drivers... I tested this with my systems that are running Windows 7, here are the results:

One of my desktops using Windows 7

evga Geforce GTX 260 Core 216 SC @ 1920x1200 = Effected :(

HP elitebook #1 Windows 7

Quadro FX1800 @ 1680x1050 = No issues :)

HP elitebook #2 Windows 7

Quadro FX1800 @ 1920x1200 = Effected :(

The two 1920x1200 are effected whereas the other one isn't. I would test further but my other systems are running Vista.

Can anyone else confirm with resolution results?

edit: using 190.62 nvidia drivers. Also just a note; the issue did NOT turn up right away with the elitebook #2 - it took a few tries to recreate it.

Not the case here...

I USE to have this issue (use to as in a few weeks ago when I first reinstalled W7) but as of this moment on my 4890 Toxic running 9.8 Catalyst drivers @ 1920x1200 I do not have this issue.

I have the same issue but it only happens when I move the picture to my second monitor and then back to my main monitor. My main monitor is 1920x1080 and the second is 1680x1050.

I also have an issue where the color border outside the picture when it is maximized is not white its more a beige. When I move it to the second monitor it goes back to white.

So far this is the only 'annoyance' I have had with Windows 7.

Ok, it wasn't doing it last night, but its doing it today......definitely some weird issue. I have noticed it happens on mostly 1920x1200 and it seems to happen on both nVidia and ATI cards so I doubt its a driver specific issue.

It also appears to be slightly random, for me at least, didn't happen last night but its happening today.

      So, this is a deal on a bundle of applications for macOS... but the graphic shows an iPhone and an iPad. I know Neowin has graphics for Macs, especially Macbooks, since they get inserted into random articles to represent PCs even when it's a Windows product - so how is it possible to screw up an actual Apple-specific Mac-specific article? Worse, there's an Apple Pencil with the iPad, something no Mac has or can do.
    • If you can't afford an NVIDIA GPU, try getting one of its new trading cards

      Good news! Sure you can't actually afford to buy one of their GPUs anymore, but now you can get free trading cards to *remind* you of the GPUs you can no longer buy or afford. Hey Nvidia, can a company BE more tone deaf?

    • Xbox CEO who laid off thousands will advise the Federal Reserve on productivity and jobs

      That's like giving a **** to babysit a kindergarten... Microsoft gobbled up bunch of incredible studios that existed for decades, sat on them tweedling their own dongs and then they suddenly decide they need to fire everyone left and right because their new direction is to serve more games to gamers! Just shows how disconnected execs really are. They don't understand jack s**t. They are like kids who think stuff in fridge just magically appears that. Now apply that to games. Some are praising Asha for "correct course" of Xbox division, but she's just as dumb as all the execs before her at Microsoft.
