Graphics card not working properly

[zanee]

Hi there,

I have tried everything to fix my blurry LCD monitor. I have a NVidia FX 5200, 128 MBs using a AGP slot. I have re-installed the nvidia drivers and have changed the resolution but still my screen is blurry. It is hard on my eyes and I cannot watch the monitor for long periods. Does anyone know why it is like this? Do I need to re-install the AGP driver? I have a pentium 4, 3 GHZ, windows xp home.

thanks in advance

i have never really heard of a blurry LCD monitor. either that is pretty badly damaged or needs cleaning. this is going to sound dumb but are you sure it isn't your eyes?

this might clear things up

When I am in XP desktop, the screen is blurry. But when I play any of my games, e.g. Boiling point, the screen is not blurry. I know for a fact that it is not my eyes. The screen does not require cleaning either. I am just stumped on this one.

try turning the brightness down on your screen

Its probably your refresh rate. try adjusting the refresh rate to see if this helps.

Edit: Whoops you said "LCD" , never mind then... though this sounds like some sort of driver or settings issue.

I cannot adjust the refresh rate because I have only one option and that is 60 hertz. When I select the drop-down menu there is only one option (i.e. 60 hertz).
