In two different computers - both running the latest drivers from Matrox, we
get a small pink square here and there on the monitor (LCD from Dell). This
happens especially on Windows Explorer toolbars.

The same computers running nvidia-based cards does not have the same
problem.

Anyone else seen this? Something wrong with the driver?

Don't you really think that a forum dedicated to Matrox video cards, would
be a better place to ask this question?

Yes, but noone answered in the dedicated newsgroup for this, and since this
has to do with XP and hardware for XP I though maybe someone could share
their knowledge with me.

You may get an answer here, but Matrox is not a common video board these
days. My last one was 5-6 years ago. I gave it up because though it was
great with business applications, it didn't do graphics very well.

I run a Parhelia at work and I've never seen anything like that, is this is
happening with two different Parhelias?

No with one parhelia, but on two different computers. I'm not sure we want
to buy more parhelias.
