Can you post a screenshot or photo displays with those glitches? Which mainboard (chipset) You have?

the artifacting only occurs when I move the window from side to side. my chipset is intel mATX I810.
Images are from the artefacting, the card itself and the computer in question

I think I remember seeing similar on 98SE years ago, and it turned out some windows system file was screwed up.

I was looking for clues trying to help me remember when I came across something saying updates to Explorer snuck in with IE updates require a newer directX version and dx 7 or 8 fixed it. Not sure if that was my issue or something else.
