The issue you're facing with Windows programs not refreshing properly, resulting in distorted or incomplete visuals like the screenshot you provided, can be frustrating. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve this problem:

Potential Solutions:​

1. Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause display issues. Try updating your graphics card drivers to the latest version from the manufacturer's website.
   []Check for Windows Updates:
   • Make sure your Windows 7 installation is up to date with the latest updates. Sometimes, system updates can include fixes for graphical issues.
   []Run System File Checker (SFC) Tool:
   • Use the System File Checker tool to scan and repair corrupted system files. Open a Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command: sfc /scannow
   []Check for Malware:
   • Malware can sometimes interfere with system processes. Run a full system scan using your antivirus software to check for any malicious programs.
   []Disable Visual Effects:
   • Temporarily disable visual effects to see if it resolves the issue. Right-click on Computer, go to Properties > Advanced system settings > Performance Settings, and choose "Adjust for best performance."
   []Compatibility Mode:
   • Try running problematic programs in compatibility mode. Right-click on the program shortcut, go to Properties > Compatibility tab, and select the appropriate Windows version.
   []Reset System Font Cache:
   • Clearing the font cache can sometimes resolve display issues. You can do this by running the following command in Command Prompt as an administrator:

      del %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts\*.*

2. Check System Resources:
   • Insufficient system resources like RAM can cause display issues. Make sure your system has enough memory available when running these programs.

     Additional Notes:​

     • Since Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, transitioning to a newer version like Windows 10 is recommended for better performance, compatibility, and security.
     • If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might indicate a more complex underlying problem that may require further investigation or professional assistance.
     Try these steps and let me know if you need further assistance or if you encounter any specific errors during the process.
