Perhaps, an older version of the driver would work better on your computer.See the below link. http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeonxprevious-xp.html Note:The lines going across your screen do look like a bad video card. Have you TRIED removing and reseating your video card?well.. the problem was there before i updated the drivers.. I just tryed to update them because of the problem. I havnt tryed removing my graphic card - and i dont know how to reseat it ?Reseating is just physically removing it and then putting it back - just to ENSURE all contact areas are good in the slot. Does look like a major card problem - but, wondering too - if you change resolution does it look same? What is it like in safe mode - or if you change settings to 640 x 480, and 800 x 600. I expect it will be but just something to check out.i'm at my laptop atm.. I'm going to try safe mode first before i remove the card.. yes, i tried 800x600.. didnt change anything.. also tryed 16bit colours instead of 32.. To my big surprise the lines became purble instead of slight green :pactually.. now i remember i deleted a lot of random stuff at my desktop around the time it started.. atm i run a recovery program to see what luck it brings.. I personally think the problem is the physical video card itself. ...either that, or there's a pin stuck in the video card's analog or DVI jack......or... Quote i deleted a lot of random stuff at my desktopIf it was just desktop, you should be fine, but if it was more than desktop stuff....this is monitor problem...

For all we know, this could be a malware problem.i tryed taking the computer back to another date.. Now there is no problem at all.. it recreated some files in system32.. including some drivers - though, i'm 100% sure i didnt touch system32 the last month.. kinda strange how it got deleted imo ^^ Thanks for all your suggestions If you restored to an earlier date and it is fine then somewhere along the line you installed the incorrect driver for that card...Glad to hear that but - WOW - sure musta been a major driver mismatch/compatibility to yield that much problem. That was major! Be useful to track back and see if you can work out how it occurred.Calling the screenshot i posted a major problem ? :p you should have seen my screen when i launched anything actually requiring graphic.. Most of all it looked like that Equalizer which is in Windows MEDIA player |
