Windows 7- New Windows Are Not Displayed
- by Peter
I am running an up-to-date and OEM version of Windows 7. I have been experiencing an annoying problem for the past few weeks where new windows are not displayed 70-80% of the time. For example, when I launch notepad, the notepad window is not displayed or when I select save from the file menu, the save dialog is not displayed. The window is there, but it is not being displayed; the screen is not refreshed.
The way to work around this problem is to force a system-wide refresh by
pressing CTRL+SHIFT+DEL and then cancelling
hiding all windows using "show desktop" then displaying the window needed via taskbar
Can anyone please point me in the right direction to solving this problem? What could be causing this?
