Hi there,

When am watching a DVD using any player e.g VLC & try to drag it across the screen it goes in a wavy pattern......any suggestions?

Is it cause my machine doesn't have a graphic card, using Intel 945GM............??

Thanks.

Hi,

this is caused by Compiz effects, it is nothing to worry about, if you want to disable it, open "Compiz Manager" and take the tick out of "Wobbly Windows".
