I was wondering if anyone else is suffering from ghost images remaining on screen after clicking something?
For example, say I am in IE, click on "work offline" in the upper right tools pulldown menu, then, leaving IE running, click focus over to another program, say Autocad. What happens is that the horizontal menu section of the "work offline" will remain as a faded ghosted image on top of my Autocad image. The same thing happens in IE when I click on a Avast pull down menu item from the lower right tray.
I haven't done an exhaustive test yet, say to see if it only happens when IE is in focus, or if it is a more global issue.
I am on Win 7 x64, with the latest Dell 186 Nvidia drivers. Haven't tried the newer 188 driver though.
Hope someone can shed some light on this annoying, but trivial issue!
