My old Nvidia 8800 ultra turned over and died on me and I have replaced it with a Nvidia285gtx from Asus. My problem is that I am unable to see the taskbar, sides or top of the application windows and even the Vista Orb. Even by changing the resolution, the problem still occurs. I am...

Thanks all, I think I will stick with what i've got sound wise and just get the bluray player. Saving myself £100 will also please the better half! Thanks again everybody

I don't do Automatic updates, but instead just choose the windows updates only. Anytime it recomends driver updates then my heart skips a beat!

Removed all the cables and drives, replaced the IDE cables and reinserted all drives with the 250gb as master and all is well so far. Thanks everyone for their advice

Many thanks for the link, it will come in useful. I eventually got around the problem by installing vista on my second HDD and reformatted the problem hard drive. A bit drastic but was all I could think of at the time. I will be more careful during windows update in future!
