Yes Kevin, I'm aware you have a separate GFX card.
The point I was making was that my customer's very similar problem disappeared as soon as I installed a PCI (read - alternative) card in her PC.
The inference was that perhaps another card would solve your problem. I guess I should have spelt this out the first time.

Thanks Ian, I don't have graphics on the mobo. It's a separate AGP card.
The artifacting gets worse the longer I have solitaire/freecell open but now
I'm noticing errant pixels in other programs too. I've got the cover off the
computer but I don't think that's making any difference.
