Recently I upgraded both my computer and my brother's to Windows 7 from XP. For the first month it went beautifully on mine. And then the flickering began. At first it only happened on the taskbar. Now when I say flickering, I mean that certain parts of the taskbar would vanish, showing me the background behind the taskbar on my desktop. The vanished parts would appear and disappear and appear over and over again until I opened up a window and then minimised it.

So for a good week that happened. And then it stopped for a few days. Or so I thought. Then it began happening to Chrome and Microsoft Word. Very recently it's begun on any program I use. It's particularly annoying in Chrome as it flickers constantly until I minimise and then within minutes of me doing this it happens again. And of course my brother's computer doesn't do this so naturally I figured something weird is on mine. I haven't bothered reinstalling programs as it seems to affect everything I open.

Nothing I do except minimising seems to fix the problem. It is incredibly annoying as I am sure you can imagine.

Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
