It's rude to set your clock ahead. Change it to the correct time.

I have windows xp, creativelabs live x-gamer, ecs motherboard(sis chipset)
and the ati radeon 9200 se. My problem is on my monitor When i have the
refreash rate to 1280 X 1024 16 bit or 32 bit. Everything on my display has
a like a blur or shadow to it. But at the lower refresh rate its not to bad
but still noticeable. I installed the ltest drivers. should i go back to
drivers from cd? please help!

It's rude to be rude! Did you ever stop to think that maybe the clock was
set ahead by mistake? You can inform the OP that thier system date is
incorrect without being rude about it!

This may well be due to the Refresh Rate (e.g. 60, 70, 72, etc. Hz) being
not supported by the monitor or the drivers (could be either video card or
monitor drivers).

- Check to see that the drivers you are using for your video card are the
latest and proper for your hardware.

- Next go to Advanced on video properties and change the monitor Refresh
Rate (NOT Resolution) down to 60Hz. If this greatly improves the image, your
issue is the Refresh Rate and you need to make sure your settings are within
the range appropriate for your monitor (check manual, mfr's website or their
tech support folks for info). If this doesn't help (***uming you have a 17"
or larger monitor . . . they should all support 1280x1024 Resolution
without problems), your monitor may be signaling "end of life" and need
replacing.

If you have another monitor available, try hooking that up to your computer
and see what happens (realize this requires changing monitor settings and
perhaps monitor drivers).

you may be using a refresh rate which is beyond or close to, the limit
of your monitor. You didn't say what it was set to.
1280*1024 is *not* the refresh rate, it's the resolution.

Refresh rate is typically measured in Hertz (Htz) which signifies
refreshes per second. Mine is an older monitor, Sony 15sf1.
I'm using 768*1024 resolution and 72 Htz.
Hope this helps..
Dave

PS - set your clock you're way in the future...
