Vertical yellow bands
I have just created a new computer, where all the component parts are new
except for my Sony DVD burner and reader. The ATI card I installed was the Radeon Pro. If there are different versions of this, I am not sure which one it is and unfortunately, I discarded the box it came in. In any event, there are light vertical yellow bands, about one inch wide, that one can see on the monitor. Sometimes when there is a white document that does not occupy the entire screen, this yellow tint extends between the bands. I do not do games so I did not install the drivers that came on the CD. I guess that I do not have Catalyst installed. I am using XP professional and the display driver is 6.14 or something to that degree. Trying to get any support from ATI is pretty hard. I did hook up another monitor to the new computer and the banding did not go away. If I had another video card I would stick it in to see whether the bands do go away, but I do not have anothe card. Does anyone have an idea what the problem here is....and how to remedy it short of going to another video card. This is a particular problem for my photographic work is affected inasmuch as my monitor is profiled and it is difficult to color correct pictures in Photoshop with this situation. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer. W. Clinton Terry |

Maybe your dealer is more than happy to checck the card in his workbench system |

Any change of video card means you need to redo your monitor profile anyway. |

If the banding persists then at least you know it's installed properly and can take it from there. Shaun |
