Partial display until mouse-over.

Post by WereBo »

Hi folks :)

I just installed SeaMonkey 2.4 on y wife's new HP Pavilion laptop and there's only a partial display showing. The bits (buttons etc. missing, text appears as individual black blocks) appear as I move the mouse around and the bits that are showing onscreen are random. The same version works fine on her old Toshiba laptop and it doesn't happen in any other browser, so it's not the laptop itself.

Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted, I can get some peace and quiet then :wink:

Do you mean SeaMonkey 2.40?
Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration? (SeaMonkey Options > Appearance > Content, un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available". Then restart SeaMonkey.)

Likely Intel video driver related. Update to the latest drivers you can find and you may even be able to switch it back on. The Intel website should have them.
