Unhappy There's a really annoying flashing square on my desktop!?
I didn't notice this problem until I installed the Jaton GeForce 6200 graphics card. I installed it and updated the drivers. But now, sometimes when I open programs, there's this 1.5 by 1.5 inch square in the middle of the screen! If it happens when I open Google Chrome, then when I close it, there's a white square. If it's Steam, and I close it, it's a gray square. This is also really annoying when playing games, because it flashes on and off and makes gameplay difficult if not impossible. I have an LCD monitor and have already run a bunch of dead pixel tests, and haven't come up with anything. I have mcafee total protection, and I clean my registry weekly...can someone please tell me what's wrong?
