PrE 11 Causes Screen Refresh Failure

I am working on a relatively new (less than six months out of the factory) Lenovo W530 laptop and whenever I move the window containing PrE around on the display it leaves a continuous trail behind wherever the window has been, as per this example.
The really baffling thing is that this problem does NOT happen with any other program I use, including Photshop Elements. I will note that forcing a screen refresh (F5) will restore the underlying desktop display but not any other windows that have been overwritten.
I have updated all video drivers to the most current (see notes below) and have deleted the BadDrivers.txt file as suggested in the support forum.
I am running Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) with a 1.0Tb hard drive and 8.0Gb of main memory. My laptop display is controlled by an Intel HD Graphics 4000 with driver version 9.17.10.2843 which is dated 08-21-2012. (I did discover that an updated driver has just been released from Intel in the last week, but that version is not available from Lenovo yet.)
Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks in advance for your  consideration.

Randy,
Just a thought here, and actually applying to a different program, Premiere Pro, and to nVidia cards, but perhaps you have similar controls in your AMD/ATI Catalyst console:
Some users were having similar issues with screen redraw in PrPro, with nVidia graphics cards, with the latest nVidia driver. The cause was in the settings for 3D Acceleration. When those users set the 3D Acceleration to "Let program decide," (or very similar syntax), the redraw issues disappeared.
You say that you have tried various settings, but I assume that you were working in the OS controls (BTW - Aero has caused some screen redraw issues, and in earlier OS's, users have just disabled that). Check out the setting in your Catalyst console, to see what you have available to you.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I have a similar issue (looks about the same as the OP's screen-cap, and is really noticeable in the Program Monitor), but my problem is that I am still running XP-Pro SP3 on this laptop. My nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX card has the last driver from nVidia, but with my old OS, that driver is now about 2 years old, and will never be replaced. I am stuck, until I upgrade the OS to Win7, but will probably have to stay with 32-bit, since I can only fit 4GB RAM on the laptop's old MoBo. I have a new Win7-64 laptop, as a replacement, so all is not lost.

  • Screen refresh failure and random "locking"

    Hi - wondering if anyone has come across this problem themselves.
    We have an application using Forms 10.1.2.0.2 running on the web with Java 1.4.2_05 and occassionally a peculiarity occurs - sometimes you cannot click into the fields on the form, and another problem more random is the failure of the screen to actually refresh with the new data. The only way to fix it is to completely come out of the application and re-launch - simply exiting to the main menu doesn't fix it.
    At present no one seems to know where to start with debugging the problem. Would be grateful if anyone has seen this behaviour before to reply.
    Regards,
    Bev.

    Yes thanks - I searched the forums before posting the message - the ones where they mention freezing are with earlier versions of forms - I can't find anything with Forms 10 and they don't describe the same sort of symptoms - more system hangs - which this doesn't do.

  • Yosemite causing slow screen refresh using TOS

    Problem description:
    I use my iMac for trading with a java script app called ‘ThinkOrSwim’.  It was working fine with Mavericks then I upgraded to Yosemite.  Problems continue even when upgrading my RAM from 4GB to 16GB.  Overtime the Screen refreshes get really slow after using the ‘TOS’ Platform for 2-3 hours.  Have to do a SMC Reset to be able to use the ‘TOS’ platform once it becomes too unbearable to work with it.

    I just want to add that to further this improvement, I also disabled stat menus, and anything on the menu bar that caused the screen to refresh. I disabled transparency, the genie effect, and forced quit the window server on the activity monitor, and disabled the dashboard and the system preference "displays have separate spaces" - which required a re-login.
    I also left the auto-switching on the nergey preferences to the GPU to always use the 330m, rather than the intel hd card.
    Basically, I disabled anything that made any extra load on the GPU.

  • Is there a way to speed up Premiere's screen refresh when editing?

    Hello all!
    I've been doing a lot of editing in the time-line.  I'm editing two concurrent video tracks, and three concurrent audio tracks.
    Whenever I split or delete portions of a clip, Premiere re-draws the tracks which takes several seconds (maybe 7 seconds or so?).
    I know it doesn't seem to be a lot of time, but I am making many edits and it slows me down.
    I know that if one "turns-off" the fancy graphics that display little video pictures and audio waveform displays that this screen refresh goes faster.
    But is there some I should be setting to optimize my computer specific to screen refresh? 
    I believe I have mucho RAM, 500 gig of "extra" disk space, a fast dual core processor and am running Windows XP.
    My project is located on a secondary drive.
    Would a fancy video card help speed up the screen refresh?
    Thanks!
    --Tom Nickel

    Hunt,
    (By the way, thanks to everyone for all the time that they're putting into this thread.  I didn't think that it
    would have evolved into such complexity ..)
    My Windows Hardware Acceleration was set "all the way to the right".
    I tried it "all the way to the left" and then, just one "notch" less than "all the way to the right".
    (Hope that makes sense!)
    It didn't fix the problem :-( 
    (Do I need to re-start Windows when I change this setting?  I did not do that ..) 
    Here is some more information:
    I think I had first noticed the video latency last August.  I had attributed it to a lack of hard drive space and
    installed a new internal hard drive (I have four 500G sata hard drives in my computer.)
    Also, I had installed Premiere 7 on my computer about two weeks ago.  (I have been using "3" to date.)
    Both 3 and 7 act the same way, so I'm thinking that the issue probably isn't caused by a corrupt installation of Premiere.
    I would suspect having both 3 and 7 installed concurrently as the culprit, but the issue existed long before installing 7.
    If it were a system RAM failure, I'd suspect that I'd see a far more catastrophic failure?
    And, when the video is playing "catch-up", I'm not seeing excessive drive activity, so I'm not sure
    how big a role that the hard drove(s) are playing in this anomaly.
    re: hard drives - the only set-up that I changed in the BIOS when installing hard drives was to turn on the
    SATA interface for the drives .. maybe I've missed an optimization?
    Maybe I need to go thru the "optimize your PC" list ..
    Last thought for now:  Is my Nividia GeForce video card adequate?  I've got another video card that I can try.
    Thanks copiously again!

  • How to change screen refresh rate in windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 iso image using dism

    sir when i install windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 then after the completion of setup when first time windows boots up then task bar is not shown and display is not clear and when i check under monitor settings the screen refresh rate is 60 Hertz and when i
    set the screen refresh rate from 60 Hertz to 75 Hertz, then everything is OK, plz tell me why this happens?
    why windows 7 sp1 and windows 8.1 automatically sets the screen refresh rate to 60Hertz instead of 75Hertz.
    how can i set screen refresh rate 75 Hertz permanently in iso image using DISM ?

    That is not a function of DISM. Resolution and refresh rate capabilities can be determined by multiple causes. Drivers are one, another is that most modern displays will report their capabilities to Windows.
    You can specify display settings with an answer file however:
    <Display>
    <HorizontalResolution>640</HorizontalResolution>
    <VerticalResolution>480</VerticalResolution>
    <ColorDepth>16</ColorDepth>
    <RefreshRate>60</RefreshRate>
    </Display>

    Well I opened the case for him and he never followed up with Microsoft :-(
    It's a kerberos issue, we're told to ignore it.  Would you be willing to be patient and stubborn and work with CSS to at least understand what's going on better?  I can tell you it's normal with Essentials but not the exact technical reason it's
    happening.

  • Screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh

    Many people in the company are experiencing the odd screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh to show the updated result in corresponding cell formulas.
    Microsoft have issued a hotfix to fix the issue for Excel 2003 as shown. Microsoft released a hotfix for this problem (<a href="advisory?ID=978908">KB978908</a>). Display memory tends to pick up data from hidden sheets and pastes it
    into the active screen. No impact on the file. This occurs when protecting and unprotecting worksheets in VBA. I also suspect that enabling and disabling screen refresh contributes to this problem. In any case there is a fix, albeit with the following disclaimer:
    As of yet I have not been able to find a fix for this for office 2010 and 2013, Any suggestions would be great.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, Excel does not show the text strings when you typing. It may be caused by the cell format, if we set the cell format as ";;;" in custom format, it will not display the text that you typed. 
    And the issue may be caused by the third-party input method, there are some compatibility issue between them.
    If the issue still exits, please try the following methods
    Verify/install the latest updates

  • Option Icon 452 is causing a critical failure. Suggestions?

    Option Icon 452 is causing a critical failure as soon as I put it into the USB slot.  It seems that loading the wrong drivers for it or thinking its something that its.
    Each            time I put the 452 into the USB slot I immediately get an error in which the screen            takes on a shade of gray and a black box in 6 languages            appears saying "You need to restart your computer. Hold down            the power button until it turns off" - I cannot do anything            besides that and if I leave the modem attached and restart            the same error appears as soon as it boots up. Once I take            it off I'm able to restart normally again. Not sure what            that problem is but it seems rather critical.
    I'm not having any other problems with my macbook and I have a friend who tested the Option iCon 452 on his macbook and had no problems. So I'm kinda muddled.

  • Flashing During Google+ Screen Refresh

    Hi,
    (1) After the most recent firefox update (7.0.1), surfing photos in a Google+ album has resulted in multiple screen refreshes. This causes a very quick series of multiple flashes. It is like a strobe effect. This could be a health hazard for epilectics. It certainly makes me feel ill.
    (2) After conducting some more tests I have found the following.
    (3) If I go straight to the person's album (by clicking on the album link, rather than the single photo in the Google+ Stream), its works OK. eg: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/106526737947007406923/albums/5636112106735941633
    (4) However, if I click on the single photo in the Google+ Stream, the same album contents are available as thumbnails but the URL is: https://plus.google.com/u/0/. I can still move forward and backward thru the album photos. This is where the screen strobing problem occurs.
    (5) Maybe something in Google+, and not Firefox?? However, it started immediately after the most recent Firefox udpate.
    Thanks in advance :)

    It looks like you may be having the same problem as me? I posted a thread about this a few days back, no replies yet, so it probably doesn't effect many people.

  • Turning off screen refresh

    Hi,
    We have a screen written in Forte UDS that highlights cells in different colours. Upon scrolling, these are updated to ensurevthe highlighting is correct. This does however cause a flicker on the screen as each cell is refreshed.
    Is there a way of turning off automatic screen refresh, so we can do this, and then turn it back on again once we're finished ?

  • Switching users causes screen display issues

    I've had a new MacBook Pro 2011 that came with Lion on it. It's been working well, I migrated my old user accounts from my previous MacBook with Snow Leopard on it.
    After having it a few weeks my son tried using the fast user switching and going into his account but the screen was exteremly glitchy. It basically show what looked like my users screen and would erase and paint with his correct screen as he dragged windows around. Eventually his screen would like correct then spontantously revert to showing my screen again.
    Fast user switching back to my account showed everything correctly. Logging us both out and logging him in alone works fine. Logging him in first and then switching to my user gives me the problem he experienced of seeing mostly his screen and having to drag screens around causing re-painting to show my proper screen.
    Screen refresh issue aside if we can work through messed up screens the computer appears to be working fine, apps launch properly and no sign of any memory or file corruption, everything "works" properly.
    I tried completely removing and re-creating his account but the problem remains.
    Couple of factors in case they are relevant.
    1) We upgraded the HDD to a SDD but it shows not signs of any issues
    2) We upgraded the memory beyond the normal limit of 8gb to 16gb using a Cruicial memory kit certified for the MacBook Pro.
    3) We have both the laptop screen 1680x1050 running and an attached thunderbolt display AND a usb DisplayLink adapter to a 3rd Dell 1600x1200 monitor.
    My intial thoughts were with the DisplayLink adapter. I made sure to get the latest drivers from the display link web site and did some searches but no one has described my problem.
    The screen issue seems to present itself mainly on the "main monitor" the 27" thunderbolt display but we have seen some screen corruption on the MacBook LCD. Oddly the DisplayLink always appears correct.
    Anyone have any ideas?
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 11.3.0
      Boot Volume:          Macintosh SSD
      Boot Mode:          Normal
      Secure Virtual Memory:          Enabled
      64-bit Kernel and Extensions:          Yes
      Time since boot:          21:31

    As a followup. Experimenting seems to suggest that removing the driver for DisplayLink cures the issue. Going to test more with reinstalling the driver and just unplugging the USB cable before switching.
    Was also seeing (before uninstall) issues with getting a Beach Ball freeze during logout of the 2nd user.
    I want to be certain of if it's the DisplayLink driver but once I am certain I'll take my gripe to their support forum.

  • 1 beep at startup, DRAM refresh failure? Board/RAM problem? Bios needs changing?

    I am new to PC building, and I have just put together my first system. So I have everything assembled, system turns on, and I hear 1 short beep. I can go into my motherboard BIOS screen, and even begin installing Windows 7. However, after about 4-5 minutes, the computer will just turn itself off. According to my motherboards beep codes, 1 short beep means a DRAMS refresh failure. Is this RAM related? Now I tried to unhook the ram, switch the spots on the board, and plug it back in, but I got the same problem. Is this perhaps faulty RAM? Or is a motherboard/power supply issue? Here are the components I am using:
    Patriot Gaming Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model PGS34G1333ELK
    MSI H55-GD65 Motherboard
    Intel Corei5 750 Processor
    eVGA GTS 450 Video Card (01G-P3-1450-TR)
    Cooler Master 650W Power Supply ATX 12v
    I am new when it comes to all this, so is it possible I need to set ram timing in my BIOS? As far as I know, the 2 ram sticks should be compatible with my motherboard.
    Any help would be great, and I can supply more information if need be.

    When you the system continues to booting something (e.g. Windows Setup CD), then that one beep is probably a power-good signal or indicates an installed USB device, however, it cannot really be a sign of a critical error, otherwise the system would simply halt when it beeps and you would probably see nothing on the screen at all.
    Test with one memory module only and make sure the memory command rate is set to 2T.  If you still experience sudden shut-downs or reboots, please check the CPU Temperature in BIOS Setup (H/W Monitor section) to make sure this is not a simple overheating issue.  Often, such reboots indicate a problem with the PSU.  So, you might want to check that as well.

  • Black screen (or screen refresh) during the process of start up. T400, Vista home basic.

    My 2 weeks old T400 Vista home basic can start up successfully. But every time when I start or restart it, during the start process, after inputting the password, there are 4 times of black screen (or screen refresh). Is it normal? Thanks.
