Ok, my friend installed WOW on his machine, and his video driver immediately went out the window. He has green lines-dots throughout the entire display.

So, I told him to uninstall WOW. no dice
I uninstalled his video driver via remote desktop. that fixed the problem..
I installed the newest nvidia driver. no dice, problem came back.
uninstalled that driver, fixed the problem again
installed an Older version of the driver, again no dice

also tried restore point, no dice
also tried reinstalling directX9, again, no dice.

I'm out of ideas. My friend needs his computer.

Your input is appreciated.

so as soon as you reinstall the nvidia drivers the problems come back? or as soon as wow is re-installed?

the drivers. I told him not to even Try installing WOW untill this gets resolved.
FYI, its an nvidia 6600 GT PCI-e card

FYI turns out his fan gave out... and that WOW pushed it over the edge.
