That's the only thing that shows distortion? No other applications? What's the model number?

I have tried to do system restore. It continuously says that System restore didnt finish successfully. The only details it gives afterwards is that "an unspecified error occured."

I also had to install and update to video driver due to the screen flickering during certain programs. My Other drivers were outdated seeing how I bought the laptop about 9 months ago. Its Windows vista home premium with an intel 945gm chipset video card i think. The update was on 1-10-08.

Where did you get the update from? I would try it again. Preferably from Toshiba's site
