Solve : inverted L shape on top of all windows??

1.	Solve : inverted L shape on top of all windows??
Answer» hello all, am having a strange glitch in windows xp sp2. A shell "trace" is being displayed on all and any window i open in EXPLORER (and in iexplorer as well) . the pic will ilustrate better (the inverted L shape is present on top of all the windows i open) . i dont recall any modifications to the system that could have caused this and am totally clueless. any help would be great? thanks [image rehosted by Calum to avoid apparent graphic images at original location]Did you restart the computer?INTERESTING issue. I would imagine rebooting the computer as mentioned above would likely resolve this graphical glitch. If not, I'd suggest trying to update your video drivers.I actually had the same problem yesterday when I screwed around with Dexpot. A simple reboot fixed it. reboot didnt solve it..actually am using deep freeze,would that affect anything?..btw, am using an nvidia fx 5500 128 mb.. any other suggestions?What's Deep Freeze?http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.aspNice. I don't know how it works but do you think it's possible you had this problem and then installed Deep Freeze?Appart from trying different video drivers I can't think of any other suggestions.
