A similar thing happens to me occasionally, only they're links from other pages that are displaying their tooltip markers for some reason regardless of what I'm on. But just tapping a few times on my touchscreen seemed to fix it for me :/
okay, wtf it just literally disappered. wtf wtf wtf thanks guys if it shows up again ill show a better screenshot.
Had this problem once, go tholrough every window you have open, (chrome or whatever, as well as explorer) and move the mouse a bit, before minimizing the window.
Same here, although I'm not sure about the touchscreen fix--it may have happened on my non-touchscreen as well. Try closing the browsers. Or just restart the machine, you should do that regularly anyways.
You should try running a diagnostic on your ram if you are getting wierd glitches in running proccesses as long as you have a usb stick with at least 4g of free memory its pretty easy to do just google memtest86
It seems like you selected, and the things doesn't go away. I had the same problem on my mac a few times, and it just stays there until you hold your mouse long enough on another link. Incase you had a smartphone, i'm not sure how to solve it, but it might be enough to tap it a few times.
Great minds think alike. But if he creates a stick for a memtest i would recommend to go for hirens UBCD or the standard UBCD. More tools XD
Try selective restart, as in boot with minimum programs on startup and add programs to see if it changes. I cant tell if its a hardware or a software problem. (Run msconfig from startmenu and check out the list on autostart)
It could also be a damaged/slow hardrive especially if you use a a lot of live-scanners or a demanding OS. First check hardware then software.
Go into task manager find process dwm.exe and kill it. It will start itself again and it should help you with your problem.
It's an issue with your monitor's draw/render. That bit has gotten stuck due to a lazy javascript programmer's code. Do different things that will force the desktop to redraw itself. Such things like changing resolutions, entering into a console only mode before going back to a GUI mode, etc.
