   Hmm...I smell gpu driver issues with Blender 2.49b, are you using the latest? if yes, try rolling to a previous version.
   
   I'm on a gtx 960 and while Blender runs fine, it has it's "moments" aswell, the menus becoming blurred out of nowhere is just one of them.

      Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall Visual C++ ?
      
      Maybe this also helps,
      Maybe you need Microsoft Net Framework 4 to run blender.

      I've seen similar when I bought a 1070 where everything flickers between new and old frames. It's nothing to do with Python, and it's certainly not DirectX, C++ or NET as Blender uses none of those libraries; it's likely a discrepancy between how newer NVIDIA cards handle OpenGL and how Blender 2.49 handles OpenGL, particularly the framebuffer. There's options in the NVIDIA Control Panel for specific programs, you may need to add Blender to that list, and from there set its specific settings to use one of the alternate frame renders.

   Thanks for your replies .. I'll see what I can do. The idea with an older driver version is good .. will keep that in mind.
   I've also added blender to my nvidia program settings .. fiddled around a bit but with no success. I'll give it another shot though.
   
   Thanks for now

   <Machine translation>
   
   I'm using the GTX670.
   became the same symptoms in a driver update.
   was resolved in the driver 358.91.
