Drivers?

[Guest]

Hi I have recently had to reformat my machine and think I have a monitor
driver problem. It hurts my eyes to look at the screen and the mouse cursor
flickers when I move it. How do I find out which driver I need and where do I
get it? The manufacturer isn't very helpful, can anybody help?

It may just be the refresh rate. Right click on your desktop go to
properties, then the settings tab click the advance button then the monitors
tab. You should be showing a "plug and play monitor" I would think, in the
monitor settings change it to at least 85Hz and click "OK" back through the
screens and see what that is like.

1. Look at the user guide and then you will find out how to load the drivers
off your 'drivers' disk.
2. No guide or useful information? then get Everest home edition, install
and run.

Hi,

Control Panel/Display/Appearance tab, click on "effects". Try changing the
method to smooth the edges of fonts between standard and clear type. Which
one is best for your system depends on the monitor, using the wrong one will
give you a headache.
