FIXED
I tried a hole bunch of crap and finally did what I read about first
but didnt think that would be it cause its always been there. I
turned the hardware accleration down to one below half way and that
turns off directdraw. dont know what that means but it worked.
for those that experience it. right click your desktop, settings,
advanced, troubleshooting then turn the slider down for the hardware
acceleration...... thanks for all the help... yall rock.
==============================
FWIW...reducing the graphics hardware
acceleration may not the actual *fix*...it
is merely a way of testing to see if your
Video Driver needs to be reinstalled or
updated.
I would suggest that you go to the support
website of your video adapter's mfg. and
search for drivers.
If you don't know the make and model of
your video adapter...check the documentation
that came with the computer.
Also you could try these steps...
Go to...Start / Run...type...
msinfo32 ...press enter.
On the System Information screen...choose...
Components / Display...
You should find the make and model of your
display adapter as well as the driver version.
If the driver on the support website is more
current than the one you are running...
download it and install it. Also, installation
instructions which should be closely followed
should be available at the support site.
Once the new video driver is installed...you
can reset your Acceleration to Full.
