I haven't found a way...
Does this happen on all user accounts or just yours?
If it's just yours, see my reply to dredmond below.

Try reducing your desktop effects to "Normal" or "None". If your nVidia chipset is onboard graphics, it might be a bit weak for "Full" effects, especially if it uses shared memory and/or you have...
