First thing to do is to check your video driver I think.

Is it up to date ?

Status: offline 		You could try set the game temporarily to window mode. See if it changes anything, and it will also be easier for you to recognize the problem (if it is the window moving or graphics inside the window).


Open the "startup.ini" file in the game directory in notepad (should be default)
Remove the ' symbols before the two rows with screen width and height.
Then change the resolution to a fitting size. If you have a 1920x1080 screen, you could try something like I posted below.
Then save it and start the game. It should now open in a window, and you can see if the problem still occurs. 

'Distant Worlds startup settings

screenwidth 1600
screenheight 900
'hyperdrivespeed 1.6


To change back to full screen, just edit the file again and add the two ' before the two rows again.
