Quality of Signal to Monitor?

I just bought an ASUS VK266H (25.5 inch) Monitor and I have a couple of issues, first the screen shimmers a bit in some modes and there is detectable motion blur when I move the mouse across a grey surface, also if a window is dragged across the screen the vertical edges of the window tend to ghost or blur. Would replacing the VGA cable with a DVI or HDMI cable help? Or is there a way to fix it through the Video Card software....NVIDIA control panel?|||Definitely give DVI a try. A digital connection tends to be more consistent in image quality.|||I'd say that there is a 93.76% probability that the effects you see are the display's fault.

My daughter's laptop displays a mirror image, split top and bottom, from initial boot and continues to desktop?

She had Vista, installed windows 7 hoping it would cure the problem. She says top and bottom "desktops" are identical including mouse pointer. Also says area to change screen resolution is grayed out. I had her reinstall video card software, no help either.|||it sounds like there is an issue with the hardware. what kind of computer is it/ brand, desktop or laptop.

if it is a desktop you can buy and install a new video card for around 50.00 and see if it is a laptop it's best to contact the maker and get some help. do you have a warranty ? in most cases when i have seen a split desktop that are the same it is usually a video card issue. but you can go online to your computer maker and go through a few steps to clarify the issue. then you can get a good picture of the steps you need to take next. if you have any more questions just contact me.|||Well.. first things first. If it is a hardware problem, and she did a system recovery on it returning it to the same state it was in when she got it.. in other words, if she did a Factory Restore back to Vista, and the split screen stayed, that would mean her problem was hardware based... either bad RAM or the onboard video card.



If she did a System Recovery, and the problem went away, it would mean that the generic video drivers that came with Windows 7 were incompatible with her onboard video, and that either you did not install the Windowz & version of her video drivers, or the manufacturer did not provide them and the Vista drivers were incompatible with the version of Windows 7 that she installed... say 64 bit version of Windows 7 and the 32bit Vista video drivers... or vice versa. So, locating the proper video drivers for that model laptop and video chipset to go with Windows 7 would be a priority.

How to install my video card?

Hi, I have a HP with pentium 4 but the motherboard has a built in video card. I am thinking of buying a new seperate videocard as some games/software run REALLY laggy on my pc, even though my computer runs at 3.0ghz and has 1.5gb ram. My questions are:

a) should I run my new video card software on my PC BEFORE i put in the video card?

b)When i plug in my new videocard (i think i will get one which plugs into the pci-express slot) should i plug my monitor into the new video card straight away before rebooting, or plug it into the built-in videocard(on motherboard) and then install the new card first?



help! PS i am getting a new 22inch monitor if that changes anything...|||After plugging the card in and securing it, plug the monitor into the card itself and install the drivers for the card.

You may want to download them from the manufactures site, as they will be more 'up to date' and usually fix glitches...etc. You can't install the drivers without the card installed, so install them after installing the card physically .



Hope I helped.





EDIT1:

These are some cards that'd more than suffice for current gaming under/around 200ish. I myself, would go with the second.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||dude ask a near by computer technition we dont noe much with you com|||First of all, you should check to see if your HP can support a new video card. Some models come with just a built-in video with no PCI-E slots.



If your PC can support another card, then you should plug-in the card and install the drivers first using your on-board video before switching over.|||Find out what slot you have avl.

once you have the card - unplug your computer and then touch it so you dont have any static. install the card, plug in your monitor and then restart the computer. Windows will find the new hardware but do not use the installation cd. Go to the website of the manufacturer of the card and download the newest drivers. (these are free) then run them once they are downloaded. and there you go !

Video card uninstallation?

Hi,

I want to uninstall my video card and put my other one it. Do I uninstall my current video card software first? Or can I uninstall my video card first?

Any suggestions is game :)|||Uninstall the video card drivers first., then remove the video card from pc. connect another card & install the driver for it.|||Uninstall ur Video card 1st...|||Uninstall your video card and install the new one. I would not recommend using the driver cd as the drivers are mostly outdated.

When you install the new card your pc should autodetect the new hardware when you boot up. When you have video then proceed to the manufacturers website to download your latest drivers.

.net 2.0 framework? (ati video card software issues)?

so um, i just got this PC from my father in law, it is an older system, currently running XP, with sp3 installed. i put a ati radeon HD 2600 video card in it, or had him, anyway, coming home, it let me install the driver and it seems to be working ok so far, but it would not install the Catlyst Control Center that comes as a suite from amd/ati , iits saying i need to install or update the .net framework 2.0. i tried to do a lil research but it seems u need to be an IT pro to mess with it, i dont think i need the CCC, but i wld like it as its crazy custimizable. this ppc is to be my #2, my main PC is newer and a better setup, but the exact same video card so i have some exp in the CCC, so ging w/o isnt something i wanna do. anyway, what is the .net 2.0 and how do i go about fixing it.|||You can obtain the framework from my link. There have been some security fixes since it was released, so as soon as you install it, use Windows Update to install any updates.

Is it necessary to un-install old video card drivers before installing a new card?

When you are upgrading or replacing a video card is it necessary to un-install the old video cards software before you remove it and install the new card?|||I would always remove the old drivers pre the install. Then load the drivers that come with the new card. Finally check the website for any upgraded drivers for your new card. Enjoy..|||If you are going from an ATI to an Nividia, or vice versa I'd definitely recommended it, otherwise its not critical.|||nope, not really. wont affect anything.

Video card software drivers-I just put?

a GeForce 8600gt ddr2 1gb video card in my grandsons desktop. I know it's an older weaker card but better than none. Does anyone know the best or easiest website for the drivers or a link for them. It's my old video card and I don't have the cd for it anymore. Thank you so much for any help.|||This page gives you the option to auto detect your video card and you can downlaod the drivers.

You don't have to use the auto detect, you can try to locate yourself.
