    Folding@home bug - common bug or not?

    It's pretty hard to explain so I just took a screeny:



    When I go from one tooltip to the next, I get all that black, wasted space. It only happens when I view F@H display window (where you can see the protein strand). After that, I get that bug untill I close F@H or reboot. On v3.14

    Anyone else get that?

    EDIT: I also get an openGL dll related crashed when viewing the display window when any openGL AF is enabled in the advanced display control panel.

    Well, You've just explained to me why I get the same thing on my computer. After I view the main window I get those same black marks where pop up windows occurr. For the record, it's only happening on my machine with the AIW Radeon. It happens with all different drivers.

      Yeah I get the same symptom. Basically it's a problem with the graphics driver, so F@H doesn't have a bug (Thank god for that!)

        Then use the console version. No fancy graphic. Just plain texts.

          lol I better say it again. It is not a bug in F@H. It is an ATi related bug. I get it mostly when I've played and then come out of a game (e.g CS)

              That's weird. I use the latest drivers (Windows XP), and it does not occur on my screen.

                I doubt its an ATI bug since I get it on my other system with a GF4 card. I'm more than happy to blame Microsoft though. I blame everything on Microsoft, even car troubles. It just gives me a warm glowing feeling inside.
