BARCODE appears on images

HELP! When I add layers to my images, they become riddled with barcode patterns of different colors. These barcodes move around if I click on different areas of the image. Also, they will save with the image and print out. In my years of using photoshop, I have never seen this! It's happening with all sorts of images, no matter what source or type. I suspect this might be an XP problem. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Posting your question once is enough, smoothmoon, Karla.

Karla. Do you have anywhere you can post an image for us to look at?

Seriously it seems an unusual problem and as sugested can you post somewhere that we can see the problem if you dont have web space post it to alt.binaries.pictures.utilities that groups for anything related to pictures.

Are thes patterns in colour - mostly purple + green...?

If so sounds like your graphics drivers need updating or your graphics card is going tits up :-(
