Windows XP Operating System ( OS ) video card trouble


Default Re: video card trouble

How fast is your CPU and what refresh rate are you running?

"refreash rate to 1280 X 1024 16 bit or 32 bit" is not a
refresh rate. 1280x 1024 is the resolution, about 1.4
megapixels, 16 bit is the number of colors and 32 bit is
more colors and color effects. A refresh rate would be 60,
85, or 100 Hz which means the screen is redrawn that many
times a second. 60 Hz will f****er, 85 Hz usually looks OK
and 100 Hz may be more than the CPU and graphics card can
deliver.

Ya what Jim said, I also might add to check your monitor to see if it is
capable of that resolution. I just went stupid with mine could not figure
out why it looked funny, and found that I needed to go up one more in the
resolution to clear it up. while the Graphic card had no problems with it,
it was the monitor itself. I looked up a list in the manual and sure enough
had it set on a screen res that was not supported by the monitor

Try setting your computer to the correct date. That fixes all video card
trouble.

Don't you know video cards have somn' called a "clock speed?" If your
computer date is set in the future, like 1016, your video card won't know
you even turned on your computer until 1016!!! Duh!

Sorry, I was chatting on Yahoo with someone from the year 1016 trying to
warn him of the Y2K problem. I got confused.

Default Re: video card trouble

Warn him of the y2k problem? What problem? As I recall it turned out to be
a few annoyances and that was it. Although you can tell him to warn all the
techs that they don't have to stay late at work on December 31, 1999 to
ensure that the year 2000 transition goes smoothly. They can go enjoy all
the millennium fun that their friends are having!!

Of course the main issue here is how the heck did someone from 1016 have
yahoo or even a computer to use yahoo? While your at it, did you mention to
them to leave a message for you to buy yahoo stock as soon as it comes on
the market? You could be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams then!! hehe

Apparently back in 1016, computers were nothing more than a fad - like laser
disc and HDTV. Computers never took off again until the 1980's. He said he
was on a nice little island in the South Pacific called Easter Island. He
had set his date to 2003 and somehow showed up on my Yahoo Messenger.

Default Re: video card trouble

LOL

But I don't think that HDTV is going to be a fad like laser discs were.
