    Video card issue? Win 7 32-bit

    The problem shown in the picture just started showing up today, and only happens to image files. It doesn't matter what format the image is in, and doesn't affect every image (it seems to skip a few). This only happens to images I 'preview' with 'windows photo viewer'. If I open the image in...
