mods- plz feel free to move this to the "help forum", im posting here cuz my last "help" topic got no replies [in that thread] :p
aight, yall know this work pc im on sux. every now and then [but more often the past week] my grfx/vid card does sumpin REAL wierd. ill be workin, chuggin along and then wherever i mouse-over, the text and everything else the mouse goes over becomes all blurry and i cant read it whatsoever. whatever program im in, it mostly starts when i go to "file" or even "edit" and then the box drops down. i cant see save, save as, open, close, exit, etc.. and then i hafta reboot, which is SO annoying cuz i reboot damn near 10 times a day cuz of this.
at first i thought it was too much for my p1 cpu [celeron] to handle, cuz i was testing it and trying to get this grfx thng to do what it's doing. i ran 4 proggies that take up a lot of cpu/memory usage[email, time entry, scanning prog, sumpin else] and that seemed to bring the error up, but then this morning after a fresh reboot i was JUST running paint and it happened again, the next reboot i just ran my outlook...same thing. so im kinda thinking its NOT a ram/cpu issue. im sure its a software conflict but ive checked everything i know to check and there are no conflicts/errors. i was able to get some SS [screenshots] of the blurriness, and i'm wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this. also, here are the specs of my PC, vid card, monitor, and basic system info. ive taken out my grfx card and seated it back in securely, but no luck there. here are the pics and info...

| Turn down hardware graphics card acceleration. See if that helps (also I assume you have the latest drivers.. yada yada). |
