External monitor still not being redrawn correctly

[Wim]

Hi

We have been trying to reproduce this, but not been able to - even using a machine of the same spec.

Is it possible to take a picture of the corruption you see with the horizontal lines on the screen? Also, have you had any other USB graphics drivers installed at any time? Its a long shot, but could explain what you are seeing.

Thanks

Of course, Now I can't reproduce it either

What I am now seeing is that under a classic theme, the borders of the windows seem to be draw OK (ALL windows that is) but the content only gets drawn, in 1/2 " squares, when I move the cursor around the screen

I've attached three photos

DSCF4488 shows the screen immediately after I switch to the external monitor ONLY - Window edges are all OK, but no content

4489 shows what happens when I move the cursor

4490 shows more of the Window content being revealed

So far as I know, the ONLY USB graphics drivers I have installed were the ones that came with my Kensington dock, updated versions of these and now your alpha release

I have upgraded the USB3 drivers themselves though, but I also see the same symptoms when I'm using a USB2 port

SO, ignore my "horizontal lines" comment - my issue is that Window contents are not drawn UNTIL the cursor moves over the window

Just found something REALLY irritating

I am using some Windows session recording software, and even using Windows Aero display when I start the recorder running, I get the same symptoms as above - the screen is only redrawn as I mouse over it

I stress - this IS using a Windows Aero

I am still using the alpha drivers from this forum as no-one has told me how I can get back to the production drivers I had before. That might be a useful next step for me - Please?

UPDATE - I just discovered that my recording software temporarily resets my Windows scheme to a Basic one and then puts me back to Aero on exiting!

Sorry for any confusion

Any updates to this issue?

Kensington just supplied me with a second docking station just to prove this is not a hardware issue (which, of course, it isn't) so I was wondering whether there are any new drivers due to be released?

Wim,

Are there any updates to the Alpha release.

I find that I can now turn on Aero but there is an impact by doing that. The latest driver corrupts the sound data stream which is very strange. The machine doesn't crash but what you get is sound with "interferance" happening.

Any ideas?
