I sometimes get my main monitor blurry (I have 2). It looks like the resolution decreased and it even has these small horizontal lines flashing you can notice when you look real close to it. It resembles ?static?. To fix it, I can go to the nVidia control panel and switch the monitor configuration and then hit ?No? when it asks me if I want to keep the setting But then it will come back again later at random it seems.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just got a new PC with a Point Of View GTX280EXO Vga and a Samsung 2232GW 22" widscreen LCD monitor. I have set it at 1680x1050 res but the problem is I'm noticing a big amount of horizontal tearing! I have the latest Nvidia and monitor drivers installed.
I notice this in games and in Windows, for example when I scroll this forum screen downwards quickly, I notice the tearing on the right and left sides of the text area on the dark area of the background. Is this normal? I hooked up my old CRT 17" monitor and set it to the highest 1280x1024 res and this does not happen.
I like to clean up any e-mail I send, but I cannot seem to get rid of the blue line on the left of the message screen.

While I got to wondering, I decided to open Vista's Resource Monitor, and I looked at the "Disk" section. Sitting at the top, when sorted in Write >> ascending, sits Explorer.exe writing to c:users[uname]AppDataLocalMicrosoftusrclass.dat.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I click on Updater.exe it tells me that an unidentified program wants access to my computer. Since it's unidentified, I don't know if I want it or not, so I've always denied it. But to have this happen about every 20 minutes if very annoying.
How can I find out what the program is and/or to stop the updater from flashing so
often?
For about a month now, after I've been sitting here a while, the screen goes black. For the next two or three minutes the screen will flash on for a millisecond, and gradually the frequency will lengthen, and then up to 12 minutes later back to normal. (HP Pavillion bought Nov 07, Vista Home Premium, AgNeovo F=17.)
Last week I thought it might need a new screen driver, so I got one, and for two days no flashes. My other big problem is everything seems to be on a hair-trigger. I'll want to click on whatever, and a box of choices or warning pops up, and I have to hit Escape to get rid of it...........
I'm unsure about flashing my BIOS. My MoBo is Abit AB9 Quad GT. I have downloade the latest version, and it came with the AWDFLSH utility. My confusion lies in whether or not I should create a partition and copy the files to it, and boot from there (if that is even possible), or if I can just run the utility program from my desktop.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if it is possible to bypass the BIOS flashing on initial start up?
I know that it will not speedup loading into the desktop but I would personally prefer to not see the BIOS.
If it is possible could you post the procedures for disabling the start up BIOS flash.
I use Vista Ultimate x64, which works fine, just fine, except when gaming.Whenever I fire up a game, the arrow/pointer/marker flashes constantly slightly down and to the right of the center of the screen. Very annoying. Or, let me be precise, Bioshock works fine(except you need dualcore like Crysis for the sound to be smooth, I have a 4200+ lying around), it's was only in Farcry2 the marker appeared, and I actually managed to get rid of it once, by moving it out of view before starting the game - didn't work again. And now the pointer appears in Hitman Blood Money as well, same place. These are the only games I've tried in VUx64 so far - might it be the Crossfire?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis may actually be a Linksys problem, but I hope there's a workaround in Vista. Linksys wireless print server; network of computers (mostly Vista 32, some XP, one Vista 64, one Linux) that print through it to an HP LaserJet 1200 printer using HP PCL 5 drivers. All print jobs are OK, but many of them (somewhat unpredictably) are preceded by a junk page containing a couple of lines of PCL commands ("PJL COMMENT" and the like).
It is not clear whether the junk page is the beginning of the job or the tail end of the previous job -- thus I'm not even sure which computers are generating it. I think the former. That is, I think it is a set of PCL comments sent at the beginning of the job. Linksys drivers are not on the PCs. Instead I print through LPR or RAW protocol (both give the same results) on a TCP/IP port as recommended by Linksys.
I have tried the WinPrint print processor and 2 versions of the HP print rocessor. This seems to slightly change what's on the junk pages but not eliminate them. Printing several jobs in succession from the same computer, I usually don't get junk pages in front of them. But the actual conditions are hard to pin down. Trying to run around and try all the combinations is very tedious
CPU usage is normal, fluctuates between 0 and 25. The flash is super distracting. I cant figure this one out for the life of me. I don't have any viruses or rogue processes running that I can see. It does not occur in safe mode but still does even when I use game booster (IOBIT program that safely stops many running processes to use cpu power for game being played).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've done a search for this but it's kind of a hard one to put in to keywords without getting tonnes of results with radically different problems. I bought a new computer a few months ago and bought Vista Ultimate OEM but I still needed XP for work so I just put my old XP harddrive in, played around with installing some drivers and everything worked swell. I had some free time on the weekend though and decided I may as well install Vista now. I chucked the DVD in and booted from it, then began the installation. I've got 3 hard drives, one of them is XP, one is for the bulk of my files and finally one that I cleared everything off of, ready to be formatted and have Vista put on. The installation seems to have gone fine, it unpacked all the files and installed everything. It rebooted, assumedly at the end (I didn't hang around to watch it install for half an hour) and booted in to XP. Cool, so I rebooted again, went to the boot menu and selected the Vista hard drive and then nothing happens. I get a black screen with a white blinking "_" cursor. I went back in to XP and looked on the Vista harddrive and it appeared to have the entire file structure on it. So is there any advice you can give? I'm not quite sure what else to try other than do a completely fresh install.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do I fix it? D:
We have two Sony Vaio laptops in my house and this has happened with both of them. When I type the little flashing line moves to random places and the typing continues from there. Not only that, sometimes when I type passages get highlighted or deleted, or the page simply changes for no reason. Why did this happen and how can i fix it? D:
I posted this on Yahoo Answers and the response was
"
this is common and one of the reasons people hate vista, however its easy to fix.
go to control panel >mouse and other (or printers and other) >Mouse > Touchpad Tab >move the slider back a bit so its not so sensitive.
When the Touchpad is super sensitive weird things happen when your hands are nearby.

But I don't have a touchpad tab option that allows me to do that.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was searching around Google for a while and wasn't able to find any answers. I'm using Home Premium x64 SP1, and the annoyance is AOL Instant Messenger. AIM has small buttons for the top right (minimize, maximize, and close) and for some reason Vista can't detect them as being those buttons. So since Vista's got a thick resize area, I can only mouse over 1/4 of the close button before it changes to the resize cursor. I was hoping some of you have found a workaround or solution to this, and I'm not interested in using another IM program. I've included a small screen shot in case you don't have AIM installed and can see for yourself how small the buttons are.
