I'm running 10.3 on my imac and recently I've discovered that I'll occasionaly have white squares or rectangals on the screen. Almost as is I drag the cursor to do a crop or something.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This sounds very familiar to me, but I can't remember the fix or cause...

Are you familiar with Repairing Permissions? Do these boxes still show up after restarting your computer? Have you tried running the Hardware Test CD that came with your computer?

Thanks! I ran into problems with the Mods over there, so decided to spend my time here instead.
