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.

    • Welcome back, cable? Netflix could be getting live TV

      Wow, I haven't had nextflix for years. Cancelled when they cracked down on account sharing.
    • Welcome back, cable? Netflix could be getting live TV

      Welcome back, cable? Netflix could be getting live TV by David Uzondu Netflix is apparently working on bringing live channels directly to its streaming service because not enough people are spending time watching content on the platform. The Wall Street Journal said the company recently reported rising profits, but executives still worry about dropping watch times, which increases the chances of customers cancelling their subscription. Executives are now considering adding always-on linear channels dedicated to specific genres or single shows that will appear as tiles on the main home page next to standard on-demand options. There is also talk of bundling other subscription-streaming services directly into the app. This could include Comcast's Peacock to let customers buy external plans in one place without jumping between separate apps. Netflix is doing whatever it takes to increase user engagement on its service. In the past, it's introduced Netflix Games with zero extra fees to keep mobile users active on their phones instead of closing the app. For example, when you finish watching a show (let's say Stranger Things), the system will nudge you to play the mobile game based on that exact universe. The streamer's also dabbling in short-form, TikTok-style vertical feeds called "Clips," that features "series, films, and specials tailored to your tastes, with an easy way to go deeper when something grabs your attention." It's a bit ironic that the platform that basically helped dig the grave for traditional pay-TV (streaming surpassed cable TV in total viewership for the very first time, in 2022) is now turning back to the very system it disrupted. Another reason why Netflix is considering live broadcasts may be directly tied to its ad revenue, mainly because viewers must sit through the commercial break (you cannot skip ads on Live TV).

      If they fix the problem they don’t have to pay. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

      26.9 meg on my only Widnows computer. I have an iPhone, so this app has always been useless to me with Windows. On a Mac it part of the very excellent ecosystem that Apple has.

      Neowin is the freaking KING of fake news when it comes ot Windows problems. The funny thing is they used to pump out Fedora articles, that NEVER had a single comment.
