Is transparency involved here? For example, is there a transparent image
above/below or as one of the objects in the graphics where this occurs?

Perhaps I should clarify that changing the hardware involved is not an
option; and in many cases neither is changing the graphics themselves. Given
what I've heard so far, I think the best thing to do is to report this to
Microsoft as a possible bug for their action.

Probably not a bad idea, but I wouldn't expect a timely response.

The suggestions you've received here may help you solve the problem, or at least
work around it / learn what causes it so you can avoid it while you're waiting for
MS to fix it. If they can. It may be a graphics driver/hardware problem, in
which case there's nothing MS can do.
