PC Display problem

I've Googled this to death found other sufferers but can't find a solution, so I'll try the world's best knowledge base - this forum!
Win7 & IE9. Problem appeared fairly recently (a few weeks). Graphics that used to work don't anymore, e.g. A Finacial site with an embedded graph has clicky links to customise the displayed graph. As soon as I mouse over it the graph that part of the screen goes blank, so can't click on links. Google maps is still ok but Streetview shows a black screen. If I mouse over it little bits appear then disappear as the (invisible) cursor moves about. I think it may be related to Flashplayer, but I've tried all of the obvious things - reloaded, checked Adobe's trouble shooting, changed IEs settings, made sure Activex is disabled etc, all to no avail.

Any ideas?

Does it do it with other browsers like firefox?

That would be my first port of call.

Yep its probably IE9, just had to have my website re-scripted.

your graphics driver may have been updated which will cause certain issues occassionally. try rolling back the driver and see after a restart if that sorts it.

:O)

touch wood.

As Yousta says, Try with a different browser like Firefox or Google Chrome and see if it works in those. That should at least tell you then that your plugins are working ok. TBH firefox or chrome are far better browsers than IE9 but thats just my opinion.

Report back and let us know how you get on
