    Hiya!

    I'm experienceing a slightly irritating bug when moving around windows i Win 7. I've attached a screen shot illustrating the bug. You'll notice the black outline around the window that I'm moving. Instead of that outline I should normally be seeing the "full" window being moved around. This has nothing to do with Windows Aero Peak in case you're wondering.

    I'm using the latest Nvidia drivers on a fresh install of Windows 7.

    Startmenu > Rightclick Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Press Settings button under 'Performance' > Check "Show window content while dragging" > OK

    Not a bug...

    go to start and type in advanced system settings and click "view advanced system settings"

    then click settings in the performance area and check the box next to show window contents while dragging

    EDIT: oops, didn't see myDooM's response above, my bad :p

    Thanks! The strange thing is that the "Show window content while dragging" option was already checked. Unchecking and then re-checking it worked.
