Has anyone had similar problems with a 17 inch macbook pro, core 2 duo? This happened after watching a small clip from a video downloaded from itune store using itunes.

Thank You
Jason

I'm not sure about cause of this problem. You can however try to restart and see whether it still appears.

after I restart, the patches disappear. This has not happened only once, but a lot of times, that the patches appear.

I would contact apple, because if you can take a screenshot of it, it must be a software issue.. not a problem with your screen

Could it be a problem from the graphics card?

I doubt it because if the screen shot shows it, then the os knows it is there.

Oh, sorry I didn't say it earlier, Welcome to the Forums!!

10x for the welcome, what i cannot understand is since similar effects are seen on different applications randomly. You may do the same operations, and nothing appears.

That's a graphics card / logic board issue. You'll need to take it to an Apple store or contact AppleCare for repairs. Best of luck!
