Mouse causes graphic problems!

Hi,
Ive got the MSI GF4 Ti4400 and a problem when i use a mouse or a keyboard. The graphics on most of my games are very ugly and drag alot. My primary mouse and keyboard are wireless and optical and have less of an impact on the graphics than an ordinary wheel mouse and keyboard, yet the problem still remains.
I managed to fix this problem on half-life by adding the line GL_D3DFLIP 1 to the console and that solved this problem for half-life. It told me in the release notes that there can often be a problem with a mouse in direct 3D mode. But i have this problem in every game and wanted to know of a solution along the same line for all my games. Please post here if you can,
Lei )

Sorry i havn't posted in ages, been trying to get more info on this problem. There are no updated mouse drivers or anything like that, but looking through the forum this quote form Excidium was the best i could conjure up:

If you have WindowsXP, left click on the taskbar and choose Properties. Now choose the StartMenu tab then choose Customize. If you are using Classic Start Menu, in the box list ( if it is not already checked ) check Display Administrative Tools and then Ok. If you are using just Start Menu ( the new XP menu ) then you will have to click Customize, and then choose the Advanced Tab at the top and at the bottom of the Start Menu Items box enable one of the options to view the Admin Tools. One of the Admin Options is Computer Management, choose that. A window should open with a tree of different options. Under System Tools > Event Viewer, choose Application. There should be a large number of Errors and Information tags to the right. These are all errors ( whether be crashes, or hangs etc.. ) that windows records. If you computer just hung, then the info is in there, if it restarted.. it is not. But Windows keeps track of all that information. Some of those errors pertain to games, such as Quake 3, or Morrowind, or Counter Strike etc... If you search through them, you will find out what caused the error. Be it a fault of some memory address... or as is the case of many.. a file called NVOGLNT.DLL. Only recently have i grown accustomed to its cropping up and i have yet to find a solution for its occurance. I did not have the problem before, and i have a 350W power supply from Enermax ( from what i read in the forums buying a more powerful PSU is the usual said solution ) and i am running an AMD 2000+ and a Ti4200. the problem actually came up after i installed a Logitech MX500 mouse. Or so i believe that to be the culprit. The final word is not yet in, but i will keep it posted. I used this computer with the 30.82 drivers and everything was fine till i got the mouse. So either this mouse is sucking up a crap load of power, or its causing some fault in the resource sharing with my video card and the swapping of the NVOGLNT.DLL file into memory when it is needed. Anyway, check your errors and see what crops up. I can put money on the NVOGLNT file being in there somewhere.
Sorry it's a bit long but i just seemed very relevant to me and my computer problem. Maybe this could inspire you geniuses.
Looking forward for more help, Lei

Mighty Mouse causing keyboard problems?

I just recently bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, and, after having installed it, all of my F buttons (dim screen, brighten screen, expose, dashboard, etc.) on my MacBook's keyboard are incorrect. My forward one track button is now the expose, and my volume up button is the dashboard. Aside from those and one or two others, the rest don't even do anything when pressed. I tried going to my keyboard/mouse preferences and restoring everything to it's default setting, but that did nothing. I also tried moving said F keys back to their original settings/keys, which I did succeed in, partially, but my volume up, volume down, mute, track forward, pause/play, track backward, keyboard brighten, keyboard dim, screen brighten, and screen dim keys still do nothing.
You could probably guess that this is extremely annoying, so, all answers are greatly appreciated.

Colourful squares graphics problem

Hey folks,
I've got a recurring graphics problem where on certain applications green and purple squares/lines begin to hover and flicker on the screen. Also, graphics on games such as Civilization IV are distorted, and also exhibit said squares. I've seen this happen on PhotoBooth, Coverflow, Safari, and image heavy pdfs on Preview. I've never seen them playing movies or Photoshop.

What's odd is that I can screen capture them, and with them there, things still function properly (mouse, keyboard, applications). Also, sometimes they go away, and can be 'deleted' by moving a window around the screen to 'erase' them. Other times, they just accumulate. Usually a restart is required to get rid of them, but if I open the same application again, boom! Back again.
I'm guessing, after reading on all these forum discussions, that it could be a graphics card error or something, but I was wondering if anybody else had any insight/answers, or advice about what to do or what to tell the Apple Support people down at the store/on the phone.
Thanks in advance!

An error like this, especially if it reoccurs frequently and/or causes crashes or kernel panics is usually a very good indicator of bad Video RAM. That's a hardware problem that will require Apple to replace your entire logic board (since the VRAM is soldered to the board).
Take the computer to your local Apple store along with the photos you have of the problem. Explain the situation to the genius and he'll most likely send your laptop off for repairs.

Dual Monitor Causing System Problems?

Hi, I'm new to this site, so I hope this is where I ask this question! My design group switched to G5/Cinema Display screen from old g4 setups mid 2005. I retained my Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2020u monitor to use as a secondary display for pallettes, extra files, etc. It's hooked up using a dvi-vga adapter.
My new G5 had hiccups from the start, but around March 2006 I started getting Kernel Panics almost every week, serious slow-downs, Adobe app crashes, etc. It got to the point that I was troubleshooting every week, but could never put a finger on exactly what was happening. IT archive-installed 10.4.4 after we discovered the system had been updated to 10.4.6 and we thought that would solve the problem. While that solved the issues that were relevant to 10.4.6 glitches, it didn't fix everything and little, persistent problems remained, including stalls, crashes and kernel panics. After removing suspect fonts, wallpaper, icons, updating software, repairing permissions, tossing preferences, and other troubleshooting over and over, we (I.T.) finally switched my cpu to another one in the department using data migration (just my user information, not software or other files). Still the same hiccups and even new glitches appeared (InDesign crashing on spellcheck, Photoshop not granting me access to save changes to files, etc.), including two more Kernel panics (within 5 minutes of each other) in the two weeks since we switched hardware. More troubleshooting fixed the app-specific problems, but there are still the persistent annoyances occurring.
I again did all the troubleshooting mentioned above and finally someone mentioned that I'm the only designer in our group using a dual display set-up. Could there be validity to the non-cinema display monitor causing these problems and if so, what is the solution? I've disconnected the second monitor for now, but would love to have it back. Also, we work with a server (for instance, the kernel panics only happen when I try to place a file from the server into InDesign CS2 using the place command, so there's another avenue to go down if the monitor isn't the issue.)Thanks!

I only just disconnected the monitor, so it will take time to tell if that's a factor. As for the kernel panics, although it's always the same scenario (placing images from server through InDesign) they happen very randomly; it's not happening every single time I place a file. In fact, I just placed an image on the server into an ID doc I have on my desktop, no problem. So I can't say for sure that it has happened when working from my desktop or only when working on the server.

What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
For your problem:
# [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
# If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site.

How can I fix this graphics problem on my Macbook Pro?

Whilst playing numerous games on my Macbook Pro, I have noticed the same problem. This causes the game to be almost unplayable and usually happens after playing the game for a while. I have had this happen on many games such as Portal 2, World of Warcraft, Team Fortress 2, Starcraft II and a few others.
I have had this problem ever since I first got my Macbook Pro, but the issue has changed slightly since. A software update a long time ago caused the problem from affecting the whole screen to just affecting the window the game was being played in.
I can sometimes fix the problem by opening the Display preferences in System Preferences and it automatically fixes itself - without me doing anything. There is another way I have found to temporarily fix the problem, however this has only worked on World of Warcraft. It involves changing the reselecting the display in the video settings and reapplying it - causes the game screen to go black for a few seconds and the issue is resolved.
The problem is that the graphics on the screen start to flicker and move about and certain sections are missed out. It's kind of like a fuzzy tear in the screen.
I have a attached an image of the worst case of this that I have had (I managed to screenshot it).
System Specs
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro7,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz

Chipset Model:          NVIDIA GeForce 320M

Does it do the same thing if you boot from a different disk, like your old Mac OS X install disk? I see you're running Lion, so also try booting from the recovery partition by holding down command and r at startup.
If it can't boot from any system, it's a hardware issue. You'll need to contact Apple for service. If you can boot from the recovery partition, try repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility. You may also want to try running Apple Hardware Test.

New iMac freezing, showing Graphics problems and Wifi Problems on 1st Day

My sister just received her new iMac - 20 inch - 500 GB drive.
I started seeing problems during the download of the FIRST software update from apple. There was a black box in the lower left corner of the software update window where it should have been grey (or metal).
On reboot, I also occasionally show weird flickering graphics in the lower right of the login screen.
My new iMac also frooze about 4 different times during the installtion of various updates during the first 4 hours of use. Mouse and keyboard would not work. Once it frooze at the login screen after clicking on the user name.
I also had wifi issues. After three hours of use, my STRONG wifi connection was lost. Moreover, I could not see any other wifi stations. (normally I would see 5 other wifi access points from my sister's neighbours). After reboot, the other wifi access points would appear including my sisters but I could NOT connect to my sister's wifi access point. It said I had an error. I checked the keychain and it showed the right key/password for my sister's wifi AP. I had to run Mac Network Diagnostics and reset wifi to get things working again.
It sounds like a sick iMac. I know others have experienced freezing. But given all these problems, should I ask for a new imac?
Rob
P.S. My sister got AppleCare as well. Maybe that was a good thing...

I had a long chat with Apple Support. It would appear that Apple's policy is not replace the computer unless it can be determined that it is a hardware problem (even though my problems started to appear right out of the box before I even had a chance to download any updates). According to the Apple product specialist, sometimes there are bad installs of the OS at the factory.
Apple wanted me to format the drive and reinstall the OS.
Fortunately, I did not have to reinstall the OS! I started to see graphics problems when I was asked to run the Disk Utilility off the Install DVD (so I could format the drive). So clearly there was a hardware problem.
In retrospect, I really wish there was an Apple Store nearby to buy Apple computers. I am sure the store manager would not ask me to go home and reinstall the OS etc and try again when the computer doesn't work properly out of the box.
Those who have Apple Stores nearby do not know how lucky they are!

YOSEMITE SLOW, GRAPHIC PROBLEM & MORE..

I have problem with everything in my mac. Safari is slow and lags. I need to w8 much time to open my apps like; iTunes, Steam, App store, finder and more. I have graphic problems, fps prob, yosemite need a lot of CPU and memory. Someone has the same problem? Need 7-10 min to turn on my mac. Will be resolved with an update? Sorry for my bad english, I'm italian.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Software Related Graphics Problem

Hey Guys,
My iMac C2D 17" early 06 has been having some software related graphics problems. It hasn't occured a lot but it has happened a few times. Small black dots or bars may appear but when I click or hover over them with the mouse, they go away. So, I am thinking that it may be the hard drive because it could be misreading something that could make it not show certain pixels but I am not really sure.
Any help will be well appreciated.
Thanks

RAM Specs:
2 sticks of 512 MB PC2700 CL 2.5 Apacer RAM. I don't know if this matters but they're in DIMM slots 1 & 3.
I downloaded nForce drivers (version 5.10 as Richard suggested) and everything installed fine. However, the computer freezes whenever I'm using MSI liveupdate.
So, instead of using liveupdate I downloaded the nvidia drivers directly from Nvidia.com. During installation the screen flickered three times, and immediately after this the only thing appearing on the screen was a blinking cursor in the upper left; the computer just hung at this point.

Switchable Graphics problem Aspire E15 E5-551G-T629

Hello, I've got a Aspire E15 E5-551G-T629, and the switchable graphics dont seem to work. I've tried several drivers, googled for hours and tried several methods even had the PC in for service for this and some other things and they said all was OK after the service. However the AMD r7 M265 won't be used no matter what.
Any idea what I can do to make this work? Because currently my pc is running games worse than my 6 year old 400 dollar laptop. (Not that gaming is the main objective here, but I'd like to be able to use the full power of my pc when required)
Cheers in advance

Thanks for your reply, but I have gone through every setting and changed what I could change. Here is what I have done: - Changed windows power settings to always be maximum- made sure acer epower management was the same- changed global settings in Catalyst to always be maximum (including battery on all of those)- manually added the games that weren't working and set them to high performance- added the games that weren't working to the 3d settings profiles- updated the drivers- updated the BIOS ...and probably more that I am forgetting, since I have been researching and tweaking settings for three days now. There are some games that it will automatically pick up, but the two games that I play the most (and that are the reason I spent extra money for a dedicated card) will only run off of the Intel. The most aggravating thing was that when I purchased this computer, I had no idea that it even had two graphics cards. The website only listed the AMD, and my previous laptop only had a dedicated Radeon card so I thought it must be the same. Why would it not list two cards if it had two? So when I had problems initially I didn't realize it was because the game was running off integrated graphics, so I was looking into other things. By the time I discovered it was the laptop itself causing the problems it was too late to return it.

Crazy Guild Wars/WINE/Graphics Problem

Recently I've gotten back into Guild Wars (and subsequently dropped off the forums like a stone), but I have a very bizarre issue with it. Every so often, and I have no idea why because error reports haven't turned up anything, I get a graphics failure, the monitor turns off as if it isn't receiving a signal or one of the sync rates is too high, and a fan in my computer, presumably on the graphics card, becomes audibly louder and faster. This only happens with Guild Wars on WINE, nothing else will cause it to occur. Also, it doesn't happen at precise intervals or after a certain number of hours, it seems to be completely random. I've had it happen on load, 5 minutes in, a few hours in, and on a day off where I was just being lazy, I had ten straight hours of gameplay and no problems whatsoever. I've gone over all of my logs, and absolutely nothing is turning up to clue me into the problem.
My computer is quite new, I purchased it this April. It has an Nvidia 9600GT graphics card, the drivers for which have been out of beta for a while now and have acted quite well with everything else, including Quake 4, ET:QW, Prey on WINE, and Mount&Blade on WINE. Previously I was using the Nvidia installer to handle the driver, but both it and the Arch package have the same problem, in case there was any doubt there.
Any help is very much appreciated, and while the problem may not best be suited to these forums, even getting the slightest hint as to what could be going on would be great help, as I'm completely in the dark on this one.

Launching the game with WINEDEBUG=+all wine Gw.exe causes so much debugging information to pass that it slows the entire process to a crawl. It took two full minutes to even display the GW "connecting to ArenaNet" window to appear, much less connect and complete, something which usually takes 1-3 seconds max. It would be impossible to test the game itself properly, if at all, with that option set.
I can also confirm now that using the xorg.conf fix won't solve the problem, as 10 minutes in I had another blackout. That fix seems to be for a much older 5200 card on a CRT though, the solution for which is not going to mesh as well with a 9600 running a 22" LCD.
It could also be an issue with the monitor now that I think of it, which is an LG 226WTY @1680x1050, but I have my doubts that it lies at the bottom of all this, as I've heard MPD stop playing when I've had it on and this problem has occured, so I think it has something to do with the system itself, be it kernel or internal hardware, more than the monitor.
Thanks for the ideas though, too bad they didn't solve the issue.
P.S. The more I think about it this might very well be a kernel+WINE issue, as I'm also unable to ctrl+alt+backspace out of X to the command line when the blackout occurs, which could mean the keyboard is being disabled by a kernel panic of some kind, thus causing the problem with the graphics card. Nothing has appeared in the logs though, which is odd.

Exporting sliced webpage to DM- Colums created causing editing problems

I sliced the buttons on the menu bar and exported the home
page to DW. However, when I add images or text in the body of the
homepage in DW the whole document gets chopped up and misalligned.
The colums cut across the body of the page causing this problem.
You can see the colums only when you click on the body of the home
page. Is there a way to make the colums that were added to the
sliced images (upon export to DW) smaller? If there is a way to get
rid of them totally, that would be even greater. Thanks for your
help.

Bad way to create a web site. Fireworks is an image
processing program, DW
is a HTML editing program.
Create your web site in DW, create supporting graphics in
Fireworks. Even
though Fireworks will create html code, it doesn;t do it well
and the
results will be sloppy in any of the major browsers.

Freezing, glitches and weird graphics problems

My white iMac starting having weird praphics issues about year and a half ago. Nothing that was too much to deal with. Simply using expose always cleared it up and if it came back I would do the same. It seems to be getting worse. And then yesterday my iMac started getting super slow and pausing for no reason and then I got the black transparent window shade come from the top of my screen to the bottom and then a message telling me I needed to restart my computer.
After that seemed to work but I still had graphics problems screen flickering and things like this. Then freezes started happening. I reset my pram and novram with no luck. That didn't seem to help. I have 4g of memory so I know it's not that. What hardware could be causing this? Thanks
Btw using the latest version of snow leopard

Can't upgrade from 9.04 without graphical problems maybe from ATIextension?

Hello,
I figured before I make the leap into purchasing a new machine (Mac or PC-still not sure) I'd post a reoccuring problem with my old Power Mac G4. I have tried on a number of occasions to upgrade from the 9.04 preinstalled system to 9.1 and then even higher. 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 to no success. I'll explain. Here are my machine specs:
---Power Mac G4
---400mhz (I believe it is an AGP Graphic not a PCI)
---512mb ram
---10gb hd, but i have a 120gb wd internal in the upper brack spot right above the 10g. I've been using the 120 gb split in 2 partitions as my 9.04 startup disk.
---external zip 250 usb attached.
---LaCie 52x cd burner attached via firewire
Everytime I try to run the update (and I have downloaded these more than once, thinking maybe it was corrupt on download) it leaves trails on my screen. For instance, when I scroll up and down in windows using the arrows all the text corrupts to the point you can't read it. If you move the windows around the screen that leaves trails and corrupts as well. I took some time and I think narrowed it down (maybe). If I remove the NEW ATI graphics extensions from the extensions folder (the ones from 9.1 install and replace them with the 9.04 (ones from my startup disk). The problem vanishes. So in a sense I'm running 9.1 with 9.04 ATI extensions. I did what the read me says for installing the update and I believe the firmware was up to date where it called for.
The overall hope was to maybe someday put OS X on this G4, which if I remeber correctly you're suppose to be able to do on a mac this old. But I'm having no luck what so ever.
Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I can keep this machine running a bit longer before having to invest in another one.
Thanks again.

Hi, Creative -
One thing that comes to mind is that OS 9 (at least 9.1 and later, maybe earlier, too) installs two ATI extensions when only one is needed, the one specific to the kind of graphics card in the machine. Having both active can cause some problems.
Specifically, the two extensions are named -
ATI Rage 128 3D Accelerator
ATI Radeon 3D Accelerator
Check in Apple System Profiler (on ASP's Devices & Volumes page, click the info triangles on the bus labelled PCI) to determine which card you have, Rage or Radeon, and then disable (or remove) the extension for the other kind of card.

Having a graphics problem with PowerBook G4...

So I have a PowerBook G4 Aluminium 1.33 GHz and it seems to be having a problem with the computer's graphics. I haven't found any insight on this problem online. The PowerBook will start up and look fine, then as it gets warmer, the graphics start to do weird things. It's really hard to explain what it looks like at the height of the problem. It is certainly still a usable computer, but you get green dots and sometimes purple on the screen, and they move around when windows move around. It seems to react more to blues and greens, and also there's more in places like window shadows. Like I said though, only after it warms up. It takes about 5 minutes to be warm enough to start causing the problems. Are there any fixes? Help!

As video failures are commonly heat-related, you may wish to monitor your temps and fans. Get Temperature Monitor here:
http://bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
It's free and puts a temp readout in your menubar for easy checking.
The DashBoard widget iStatPro, also monitors temps but I like the other program better. However, the widget will monitor fan performance on some PowerBooks:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
Note that is may not detect fans on older PowerBooks. I have a 1gHz 17" and iPS doesn't see any fans.
I'm not sure of the safety cut-off range for the PowerBooks. I know my fans speed up when the temps read by Temperature Monitor reach the vicinity of 140°F.
If the widget detects your fans but never shows them speeding up, that could be causing your issues.
