Problems Win XP Home SP2?

[Guest]

I bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite A110-162 in october 2006 and got 3
years warranty with it now since my attempt at linux failed I re-installed XP
but when I did I got some sort of graphics problem which makes everything
look horrible and blocky and just today my sound is all very horrible and
distorted.
So do you think I should send it in for repair?

Well just to note on that its only VLC Media Player that sounds distorted not
WMP. So no worries there. but still the graphics card which I cannot update
no matter how hard I try!

Since you installed another operating system and it failed, and re-installed
XP, and you are now having problems, you most likely voided the warranty.

Have you installed the lastest driver for the graphics device?

Sounds like a driver issue.

How did you reinstall XP? Do you have a disk with drivers on it?

I used the Product Recovery disc that came with my laptop and the drivers are
on there.
