This problem started happening to me once I installed SP1 onto my Windows 7 Ultimate install. When changing between tabs, or even just hovering my mouse over buttons, VS2010 starts artifacting. It's bad enough where I often times can't see any of the code I'm working on. Sometimes just the button the mouse is over will go black, and other times the entire code panel will turn a black and grey pattern. This problem only happens with Visual Studio 2010 (2008 works fine).
The problem remained when I upgraded Visual Studio to SP1. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio and the graphics drivers several times now, and I'm about ready to reinstall Windows 7, but I figured I'd ask for suggestions first.
Google, as well as searching through Stack Exchange, did not turn up anything useful.

Ended up fixing the problem by unchecking "Use hardware graphics acceleration if available" in Tools -> Options -> Visual Experience. I'll update if it changes, but for now everything appears to be working fine.
