Hi there.
I'm an old mac user and now run a small computer repair business specializing in macs. Today i'm stumped for the first time in years. I have a intel imac which is an original core duo 20inch and it has a weird problem with smearing graphics. It's like someone has got a finger and rubbed the screen smearing the text.
The only way of describing it any better is when you do a slow genie minimize its like that but stuck and on random parts of the screen. I did notice a lot of problems with the hard drive permissions and have repaired these and the actual drive had repair issues around the structure.
Have anyone else come across this? I've only ever known it with Nvidia chips never with an ATI before? I'm putting on 10.5.7 in the hope it sorts it out.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
