Has anyone experienced a problem with their display- where an open window repeats over and over the entire screen (sometimes appearing like random squares) and the only way to correct the display seems to be by opening finder and dragging it across the screen? This often occurs when using CS5 inDesign.
Does anyone have a solution/ diagnosis?
Thanks in advance! 🙂
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Here's an example.
That sort of problem correlates with a graphics Hardware problem.
It is possible that if your graphics card is clogged with dust, blowing out the dust and allowing it to stay cool will resolve the problem, but I would not get my hopes up.
The Apple 5770 works in all Mac Pro models, about US$250. Do not buy a non-Apple version, as it will not show a picture under Mac OS X.

Thanks Grant!
I have the cleaned graphics card etc. It may be that I need to invest and upgrade the memory, I was hoping for a solution without too much expense but this is probably unlikely.
Any other suggestions?
I am not sure how to say it more plainly:
The screen shot you posted shows a graphics Hardware problem.
Screen/ Display Problems- maybe hardware related?
