Hi Make sure your completely update your computer !!!

Problem needed to be fixed.

When screen goes white/blank when more than one window is open/over lapping each other.

Salution:>Answer

Open Compiz > Effects > Animations > Focus Animation > Highlight where it says "Focus Effect" - "Dodge" > Edit > Focus Effect > Select "None" > Close.

Now you can install >>>NVIDIA-CURRENT<<<

For the latest Nvidia drivers, copy and paste the following commands one after the other in a terminal, press enter after each command is put in, you should only have to provide your password once:
Code:

: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates


: sudo apt-get update


: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current


Now Restart your Computer.


Now you should have no problem using >>>XBMC Media Center<<< :)
