View Full Version : [FOR SUBMISSION] Display corruption/Slow down

I've noticed that when keeping Astra open for awhile, that eventually my display will get corrupted. By corrupted I mean, when you minimize windows my desktop background will look like the window I just minimized. When I close astra, then maximize, then minimize astra again, that clears up. But it doesn't clear up until I close astra. When this happens the frames around my chat windows dissappear too. Just the text portion is visible.

Not only that, but once this happens, my desktop feels like hardware acceleration is disabled. Windows drag sluggishly and are slow to repaint.

My machine specs:
I have a nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 512 (I had a GeForce 7800GTX before that did the same thing)
Intel Core 2 Quad
4 Gigs of ram.
XP Pro SP2

I haven't really started using Astra until build 65, but this has been happening for all the builds I've used. I'm on build 68 right now.


This seems to be kicked off when I'm working and pushing the machine hard, using things like Eclipse (www.eclipse.org), and Dbvisualizer http://www.minq.se/products/dbvis/ . Both these are java apps, so I'm wondering if trillian and java(v1.6.0) just aren't cooperating.
