[Vista] Desktop Windows Manager?

Clearly not when he's just reformatted....

If it was a software issue this would resolve the problem

If you have just formatted your system, you may need to reinstall the latest drivers. If not, it could be that Windows corrupted on Install.

If you have reformatted, install all the necessary drivers for everything, chipset, graphics, sound etc... then if the problem persists reinstall Windows, sometimes I have a bad install and reinstalling Windows again fixes the problem

Sounds like it is overloading the system. Your graphics card may be gone..

Also Jak I am offended by that comment. I know exactly what I am talking about, and have recently built a higher spec computer than we one in question.

***? You evidently don't.

Sorry for not adding your name :rolleyes:

Don't bother (I know you're being sarcastic).

That is probably your best bet. If you have recently formatted then that should solve it. If not then it may be a virus or just an error with the OS like Stephen said. You're probably best formatting and starting from fresh in this case.

I had the problem before i reformatted my PC, so i thought reformatting would of fixed it. I've installed all the drivers (latest ones) that i need and the problem still occurs!

I'd run that anti virus scan just to check incase you do have a virus.

Well then it must be something to do with the drivers you've downloaded. Try an older/newer driver for each of your things that you need them for
