Hi there gurus, first of all, I'm new here, and normally I don't like to register on someone's forum just to solve a problem.. So, I'm sorry for this, but I really cannot work with Photoshop as it is now.
Information: I'm running an AMD Athlon64 X2 at 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM and a Radeon HD3850 videocard (512MB version, though that isn't really the issue I think) on Windows XP Home SP3, all updates applied except the ones like Windows Search etc. All latest drivers have been installed and work fine. The machine is tweaked to run at just about 20 processes, and works very fast. Games (also newer ones) work perfectly, so I don't think it's a physical defect on the videocard in terms of artifacts).
In short, I can't get Photoshop to redraw my image properly. At first, any image opens up just fine. When it's bigger than my screen can handle (17 inch TFT, 1280x1024) and I try to scroll from one side to the other, random parts of the image occur at random places. This also happens when I, for example, make a selection and try to move that selection. Images seem to "stick" at the edges, just like when Windows stalls, and you try to move a dialogscreen, it copies the edges all around the screen. When I let go of my left mouse button, the image refreshes and it's OK again.
I never had this problem in the many months of using this software on this exact machine and XP install, neither do I have problems with software such as Nikon's ViewNX, noisefilters or HDR tools.. It started when I replaced my nVidia 7600GS with the Radeon HD3850, so I'm looking in the VGA corner here, but like I said, no artifacts anywhere else, drivers up-to-date, and every other aspect of the computer works flawlessly.
I cannot place pictures of my problem (although I can catch the problem in a printscreen). I'll have to make some posts (not bad, I know!), when possible I'll post them. Attachments: they're too small imho, I've got them at their native resolution..
I'd like to thank anyone for reading my story and any tips or hints coming from here! BTW, I'm Dutch, so excuse my English if necessary..
