hardware acceleration

lifebennder · 01-10-2009, 08:17 AM

I have a problem that when i have my hardware acceleration on full, every time i click somewhere or open a window the screen goes black and then shows me the window. This is happens for everything i do on my computer. I fixed it by decreasing the hardware acceleration to: "disable all cursors and advanced drawing acceleration." (the second one from the right).
I reinstalled my graphics driver only, nothing else. How do i put the hardware acceleration to full and not have flickers of black screen?
My graphics driver is already the newest version.

I am using Geforce 7600 GS. My driver version is 181.20.
I am using XP home

Edit since I can't find the older drivers on the Nvidia Site try doing a driver roll back.

Do you have the disk that came with the card?
Or here are the 94.24 drivers.> http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_94.24.html

i tried driver roll back but it didn't solve the problem. I just realized that there is a folty picture of the windows logo (there are some pixels missing and, vertical lines are on the logo are just black). So i think it might be a hardware problem.

try running ATI tool for a while to see if your card has any artifacts
(works on Nvidia and ATI cards)
