Strange occurrences

[Jim]

I am having a very strange problem on several systems.

The systems are all identical (Dell optiplex gx 270,
windows 2000 sp4, 512 mb ram, and an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200
video card.

The problem is when the system is configured with dual
monitors, and active desktop is enabled AND a .JPG is used
as a wallpaper it will display two images on the primary
screen overlapped and on the secondary screen it is
displayed correctly. This does not happen when AD is not
used nor does it happen when AD is used with a .BMP file.

Can not find any rhyme nor reason for it and I can not
find any knowledge base articles on it either here or at
Dell's site.

Was curious if anyone has ran into this problem before and
if there may be a resolution to it.

Thanks

It's most likely caused by NVidia's video driver. go to www.nvidia.com and
download the latest WHQL approved driver for Win2K. Don't use the drivers
from Windows Update.

Thanks for the response, but that was one of the very
first things that I tried, along with removing the card
physically, adding another card, then re-installing with
new drivers. Same problem.
