Maybe it's just your graphics drivers. Vista is renowned for less than optimal drivers because it's so new. If you can try an alternative driver, it might help.

I sometimes get graphical artefacts with Vista32 when Aero is on. See if things get fixed if you switch Aero off.
hi guys thanks for the suggestions, I actually only have vista home premium so I don`t get the aero interface, I have 4 gig ram so its not a ram issue and I dont know much about computers just a bit about software so I`m not sure how to change drivers? Pauland if you could elaborate that would be great help thanks
sincerely, Mark.
Hi Mark,
It's not too hard to change drivers, but I'm not running Vista and I'm wary about trying to help you if you're not sure of what to do. Either someone else will step in with some instructions, or perhaps you could get a mate around to help you?
That said, it's usually a matter of going to the support section of the website for the manufacturer of your graphics card and checking out the latest drivers and following the instructions there.

Thanks Paul,
I`ll check out the graphics card website.
its a nvidea Gforce 8800 gts.
no real observable problems seem to occur until I use the edge feather
slider, then the artifacts and problems occur...I`ll check the drivers
and see what my seller has to say about insallation..
thankyou..
Mark,
oopss!!....
I intsalled an auto driver update from the graphics card dialogue box
that searched the internet looking for solutions, it was all automatic
and told me to restart the pc,,
and it made my screen go funny,
anyone know how to uninstall a driver from Nvidea, its a nvidea Gforce 8800 gts installed on vista 64bit, home premium...
Mark..
screen capture of funky colours after automatic driver installation,
I assumed it was downloading it from the nvidea website when it was searching the internet as it said, but end result after restart was this..
Mark,
first image doesnt seem to have posted...
Hi Mark,
If you have a My Computer icon on your desktop (not standard in Vista) you can right click on the icon and select Properties then select the Hardware Tab then click on the Device Manager button.
If you do not have the My Computer icon on the desktop click the start button, if you have My Computer on the start menu (right hand side of menu). Right click My Computer and select Properties, then Hardware, then Device Manager.
If no My Computer on the start menu then select Control Panel. When Control Panel opens up select Classic View (upper left of the window).
In Control Panel double click the System Icon. Select the Hardware Tab then click the Device Manager button.
I don't have a Vista machine here at work so I'm guessing at the wording although it should be similar to Windows XP which I do have here.
Once you have the Device Manager open, expand the node for Display Adapter. Right click on the adapter name and select Properties. In the properties dialog select the Driver Tab. Click on the Roll Back Driver button and follow the prompts.

now its just reading "standard VGA graphics adaptor"...
