Ongoing problem
I've had an on-going problem with my Geforce 2 mx 64.
The display is fine and runs well all except the bottom quarter of the screen which is blurry, but only at 640x480 or 800x600, 1024x768 is fine (the res I run windows in) but games like Vice City etc that run in 640x480 have a blurry bottom quarter. It is annoying although I did manage to sort the problem using some older drivers (I can't remember which drivers and have been unable to reproduce the effect) obviously I want the advantages of using the latest drivers though. It does seem strange that it only affects the bottom quarter of the screen.. When taking a screen grab of 640x480 it appears fine in 1024x768. Could this be a monitor problem? I didn't have any trouble with my banshee when I had it with the same monitor (a taxan 975 tco99). Any ideas?? My blurry radar is doing my head in!!! Moo |

Sounds like a monitor problem. When video cards go bad you see artifacts
and sparklies and if it's REAL bad you see nothing and the computer won't start. neopolaris "Moo" wrote in message ... Moo wrote: I've had an on-going problem with my Geforce 2 mx 64.

I agree, sounds like a monitor problem. I had something similar with an
Envision 17in monitor. The upper-left 1/3 of the screen was blurry at resolutions over 800X600, but fine at 640X480 and so-so at 800X600. Since this was a test monitor for bench work it was no big deal - until the monitor finally expired. Ron "neopolaris" . wrote in message ... Sounds like a monitor problem.

A permanent hardware thing or a driver problem? Remember I did manage to sort this problem out using one specific set of drivers, but I can't remember which set of drivers it was... |
