Hey guys - stumped on this...

Since upgrading to the 7970HD, whenever I wake the monitor from sleep I see the lines (shown in the image below) mostly on MS Office programs. It may affect others - but since I use Office a lot - this is where I've noticed it the worst.

The lines will (usually) clear if I minimize & maximize the window. There's also weird 'glitches' where part of the page in the window will scroll - but other parts remain frozen.

Anyway, it never happened before I upgraded to the 7970 & has remained persistent through driver updates.

Web search revealed no cures - any thoughts here?

P.S. - sorry for the raw links - I'm used to 'manage attachments' - not having to remote host an image...

Disable monitor sleep mode for now. AMD 7970 drivers have problems recovering from sleep mode. Mine doesn't recover at all, hard reboot required.
