I have tried posting this problem recently but got no responses....so i'm adapting it slightly. I'm having problems with one of my monitors having a redraw problem. I run my two monitors on two seperate cards. It only happens at certain times, but i'm not sure i've narrowed it down enough to know what would cause it...anyone have any ideas? what could cause this? My other monitor is running fine and windows open and close on it, but if i drag a monitor over to my main AGP card monitor and try to close the window the graphic stays up there and anthing thats dragged over into it stays there also. Any ideas?

Whelp, I guess I'll take a stab at this one..
Just off the top of my head it sounds like a direct-draw issue. I'd try downloading DirectX 8.1 from (or just install it from some recent PC Game CD - a lot of new games include at least DirectX 8) and see what that does for ya. It might just fix it for you.
