Hi, for awhile now I have been having this weird graphics problem that has textures either stretched out or all over my screen. I also have these very small red and green dots when my computer is loading up. It started shortly after I installed new drivers. However, I had my anti-virus running accidently during the installation and this is probably what screwed it up. I dont know how to fix this, can anyone help? Here are screenshots of the problem and it happens with all games.

Can you roll back to the previous drivers and see if the condition goes away ? ?
They might be newer drivers but they also might be the wrong ones.

Other than that you could try disconnecting from the web, disabling your protection and re-installing them...

patio. 8-)Thank you for the response Patio. I tried rolling back but it said no driver files have been backed up for this device. Im pretty sure I have already tried reinstalling the drivers without the anti-virus running and I still have the problem.From the site:

Driver Installation Hints

* "Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.

* Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This PREVENTS the driver from configuring itself properly.

* Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove PROGRAMS and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers" or "NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove.

Can you try another monitor and see if the problem persists ? ?
BTW what games are the screenshots from ? ?

patio. 8-)I tried a different monitor and got the same results. The screenshots are from City of Heroes, but I have this problem with every game I have played so far, which includes BF2142 and Titan Quest.Do you have the original device drivers that shipped with the cards ? ?
I would re-install those following the instructions i posted from NVidia's site...well I tried reinstalling the drivers that came with my computer and it seemed to help a bit. It happens a LITTLE bit less now but its still there. I wonder what is causing the problem? A friend said it might be a bad setting somewhere. Thanks for the help so far.Well it went from better to worse now. There are more red and green pixels(the dots I mentioned earlier) on my screen and when I try to run a video my computer pauses for a couple of seconds and then unpauses. I had to uninstall the drivers to fix the pausing. I also still have the the bizzare graphics as shown earlier.

What I have tried and didn't work:
-Used a recovery CD to bring computer back to how it was when it was just made.
-Installed the drivers that came with the computer with anti-virus off.
-Cleaned the inside of the computer.
-Used driver cleaner pro.

I've tried just about everything...not sure what ELSE to do. Re-install the games ? ?

patio. 8-)Disable write combining in display properties, that sometimes does the trick.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
2. On the Settings tab, click Advanced, and then click the Troubleshoot tab.
3. Click to clear the Enable Write Combining check box.
4. Click OK, and then click OK.
