Windows XP graphics tearing (Solved)

Post by loukingjr »

I started having an issue with an XP guest. When I open a browser, start a video, almost anything where the screen has to change, the screen "tears", sometimes displays upside down for a sec etc. It does straighten itself out in a second or two but it never did this before. any ideas what may of happened or how to fix? running VB 3.2.8.

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.
