Strange Screen Problem (UAC/Boot Splash)

**johnsag49** · 06-28-2009

Oh even with this minor driver issue, this Win 7 machine runs just fine. I'm on it now. It's just an annoyance that I'm afraid may become a bigger issue when the final version is released. I ordered a Sapphire HD 3650 to see if that will clear up the problem.

Yes,

I just posted a response to another person with problems with an AGP card.

I would think however that this would be corrected by the final release.

Microsoft's minimum requirements for a graphics card is that it has to be a DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.

But then again, going with the new card will up your index score and provide better performance overall.

I would definitely go with the updated card.

Well I picked up a Sapphire HD 3650 AGP card... when I finally found a driver that worked, it cleaned up the problem. So I guess the artifacts were an issue with the Nvidia drivers. Since the AGP bus is a dead interface, I assume no one will try to fix the problem. So this new card will hold me over until I'm ready to upgrade the whole system.

Hey everybody,

I have the Win7 64-bit final version (through MSDNAA) and I get exactly the same glitches described in this thread.

Surprisingly, I have nearly the same components as the thread starter: ASRock 4CoreDual SATA2, Geforce 7800GS on AGP (don't remember the manufacturer right now), 2GB of ram, 320GB sata2 HDD. Basically it seems like this is an issue with the mainboard, combined with a nvidia gpu...

Drivers are all current version. A new graphics card is out of question, as this is only my second computer and thus will not be upgraded any more.

Did anybody find another solution to this problem, yet?

Sadly, no solution found. It seems to me the drivers just aren't compatible. Will nvidia or, in my case, eVGA, release new drivers to fix the problem? I didn't want to hold my breath so I got ATI 3800 series graphics card and that solved the problem for me.
