Just for the record, and in case anyone else hits this problem, I found a fix. Upgrading the BIOS and graphics driver to the latest versions had absolutely no effect. However all I had to do to fix it was increase the display resolution from 1024x768 to either 1152x864 or 1280x1024. So it looks like a driver bug as you said, just at the 1024x768 setting. This is no doubt hardware dependent (it's a Dell OptiPlex 790 with i5-2400 CPU and Integrated Intel HD 2000 Graphics). Cheers -- Ian
