Screen flickers and does other stuff.

Does anyone know why Vista Ultimate x64 does this with Geforce 7xxx series cards and lower:

~40MB low quality quicktime clip.

Whenever Windows starts, the screen flickers a little bit and everytime I do a right click the first time after Windows starts, the screen flickers again. The short clip shows it (or at least tries to since it's a pretty bad quality clip).

It only happens when I use GeForce cards lower than the 8xxx series. I've tried many different drivers and it always happens.

Just a little thing, but still annoying.

have u uninstalled the drivers properly? how about your monitor drivers? some people just leave their monitor in "plug & play" and don´t care about installing the monitor drivers.

i have a 7800 gs on winxp pro.


the screen flickers everytime it tries to start a preview in the left pane.


but i had an issue similar once, it turned out it was some slightly buggy program that placed a context menu in the right click menu.

you might have something there that isnt entirely windows vista compatible, winrar, winzip paint shop pro even.

curious, is it only on the desktop or every right click in any explorer window.
if it is on the desktop, try changing the nvidia control panel to classic.

This happens even right after a clean install of Vista after installing the drivers for the card. I have properly uninstalled the drivers whenever I did uninstall them to try different ones. I went to the NVNews forum and got the NVIDIA driver cleaner as well.

Still had the problem when doing all that. I also have the latest drivers for the monitors installed.

Vista has been great except for this little issue. At this point, I'm inclined to believe it is a driver problem. NVIDIA seems to be focusing on driver development for the 8xxx series and Vista while older generations have been put aside or driver development ceased or slowed for them.
