    Hello! As of late my work computer has been acting a bit strange when it comes to certain software, generally they all follow in the same footsteps such as Sandbox2, 3D Studio Max, Valve Hammer Editor where the view pane becomes "overridden" by something in the background, even the desktop. It's been doing this for a good long time but it's reached the point where it has successfully managed to become annoying.

    It's not very likely that it is driver related as I've recently plowed trough a good number of them, even tried Omega Drivers for nVidia and it was still the same issue, so a good guess is the GPU itself or something I'm unaware of that would save having to spend cash on new GPU. :)

    Sandbox 2 - Normal
    Sandbox 2 - Abnormal

    3D Studio Max 9 - Normal
    3D Studio Max 9 - Abnormal

    Random facts about the system is Windows XP 32bit, 2gb ram, 7950GX2 GPU SLi, asus P5B-Deluxe mobo and E6600 CPU.
