Graphics card problem

I

Ian Stevens

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, but here goes
anyway.
I just installed a GeForce 5500 graphics card, and everything seemed to be
fine. I got it for the twinview functionality. Suddenly, for no apparent
reason, the monitor display is VERY green, whereas the clone image on the TV
is as it should be. Changing color settings on the monitor makes no
difference, neither does changing color settings on the card.
Any ideas what might be causing this? My instinct is that the monitor is
dying, but it seems strange to me that this has happened right after
installing some new hardware.

Many thanks

ian

check your connection then check your setting under your video management
program. If all that fails could be the monitor but you could check that on
another system. If the monitor checks out then it is your video card or the
drivers.

Thanks all for the help. Seem to have solved the 'green' problem now - bad
connection - to find another one rearing its ugly head. The colour
depth/number of colours seems to be wrong, The desktop and regular
applications look fine on both the monitor and the TV, but video looks
awful. It's pixelating and it appears there aren't enough colours to make
it look realistic. Any ideas on how to rectify this. I've gone through all
the menu options for the card and Windows that I can think of.
Thanks in advance.

set your color to 32 bit if the video is still pixelating it could be the
video or the dvd. Pixelation is caused by the video card or drivers never
seen it caused by the monitor.
that is all I know
