Odd graphics glitches
I get really weird graphics glitches with my Geforce2 GTS & Win XP Pro. The backgrounds of my icons in some dialog windows are blue/pink (probably depending on which is set as the transparent colour for the icon) For example, nero looks like this: MSN looks the same except all the icons have pink backgrounds.

Its really annoying. I've tried tons of driver sets from 6.31-28.32. I just can't seem to fix it. I've flashed the bios on graphics card and mobo a long time ago (this has been happening for ages), neither helped. Kinda scared of flashing them again incase they give up on me.
Here's the real odd part, if I load netmeeting before nero it works fine. I'm guessing cos netmeeting uses a different driver (thats how come the screen flickers and you cant play d3d games with netmeeting open) it gets rid of this effect.
Has anyone come across this problem before? Can anyone think of a solution?
Thanks.

Now that you mention it, I've had similar issues with that theme myself but I've never really thought much of it...
I'll test it in another machine tonight.
"Are you running a third party program to do this?" I don't really understand what you mean. a 3rd party program to set the shading?
My res is 1600x1200, but it happens at all from 800x600-1600x1200.
Do you think its likely to be the card or something else? The same happens in some games that have transparent sections and they can have a series of pink dots on them. I'm considering replacing the card but dont want to find out it was the motherboard that had the error.
I'll try it in the router and see.
