Text displayed on screen is strange - sort of like a printout wherethe inks running out
Since I re-installed XP and what I think are the correct video
drivers... Text (such as icon names) on the desktop seems bold in places and dull in others - sort of like a printout where the ink is running out. Any ideas? Driver issue or monitor issue? |

Try degaussing the monitor. For *anything* else, you would need to tell us *something* like the model of computer, monitor video card and probably Operating system. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) ) |

Monitor is a HANNS-G HU171D TFT monitor. And *did* you degauss the monitor? The control usually looks like a U-magnet with a lightning bolt through it. Another thing you might try is rebooting to safe more - hit the F8 key 10 times once the monitor light goes amber on a reboot and select it with the keyboard from the startup menu that appears next - and then removing all monitors and display adapters from device manager (from system in control panel) and rebooting to normal windows. This is to cover the possibility that your video/monitor drivers are corrupted. Other than these two, replacing the monitor with a known working one is next. After that if it doesn't change things, you replace the video card. Of course, if it *does* change things, you replace the monitor. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) ) |

Meaning leting windows install on reboot to normal one would hope. And the problem is fixed one would assume since you give no details as to the results. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) ) |

If I install the drivers, it scrolls OK but the text is blurred like before. You say "install" the drivers. Do you mean by a) as windows does automatically by rebooting to normal windows after removing all display adapters or b) installing them from some setup program? If the former, it sounds like your card is dying. If the later, uninstall those drivers, they aren't meant for your card. This is because the monitor is still being "written to" in the same way whether or not you have it's driver installed, whereas the video card has actual difference. You *might* also see if there's a fan on the video card and see if it runs. Over= heating might be a problem. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) ) |
