Nvidia GeForce 7600 Issues?

So for as long as I remember, since I have owned this card, while I have a 3D application(Games) open and I alt-tab out, either my computer may freeze completely or theres anomalies with other programs, such as java. I did some fix for java so nvidia doesnt screw up the java apps and so its actually readable, but I still have tons of problems with non-java apps. I have supplied a screenshot to what it does to things while I have a game running and another application that has some sort of 3D on it. I have updated the drivers with newest ones as I do whenever they come out and still no joy. Im computer literate, so no dumbed down answers... Thanks

P.S - Nvidia sucks major ***, dont buy one.

Update:

Yes, I have done driver cleaning to get out everything and reinstall, no luck.

@Rhyled - Active Sky does not run in full screen mode. It is just something about Flight Simulator that causes these problems in a lot of programs, like the weird borders in the screen shot on a lot of other apps. I would hate to run Flight Sim in windowed mode but will try that later. Any other suggestions?

    Why are you alt-tabbing out? I'm guessing that Active Sky Evolution runs in full screen mode. If that's the case, you're confusing the heck out of the video overlay mode when you exit out abnormally.

    Can you run that game in windowed mode? If it behaves in that mode, I'm going to guess that the software doesn't elegantly switch video modes rather than it being a hardware problem.

    The 7600 is showing it's age, however.

    nVidia is okay, the 7600 is just a crappy card.

    Have you reinstalled drivers?
