The monitor (172fp) on my 3 year old 4600 hasn't been right since I did a clean install last week. Problems I'm having are web pages are flush left, blurry icons in the task bar, type is too small unless I increase it to 150% but even then it still looks bad but I can read it. I have tried every setting combination I can think of but nothing helps. I installed latest gforce 5200 drivers but that didn't help. I have resolution on 1280x1024 which I think was it's setting at delivery. I tried other resolutions but they look bad too. In fact every other setting is wide with illegible type with real narrow scroll bars. I don't remember that happening. I've tried everything. Something isn't right. Any ideas. thanks
Could you take a screenshot of what your screen looks like (just use the PrntScrn command and paste it into an image editor and upload it somewhere). It is important that you upload it in the native resolution and do not scale it. That way it would be easier for us to see what you mean.
here are three screenshots. They are all 1280x1024. The first one is 96 dpi and I can barely see it and the second one is 150 which I can see but alot of other type in windows still stays very fine and task bar icons like the ZA one are pixelated. Third one is comcast homepage which is flush left with small type. This is still the 150 setting. You can't really see it in the pics but the images sizes look a little off like aspect ratio is messed up. My comp indicates the nvidia drivers are working correctly but when I uninstall them and restart nothing changes on the display. I'm not sure they are working properly. They are updated. Someone I know with the same comp has 1280x1024 96dpi setting and the display looks like mine used to so it has to be something with the drivers I think, or something went wrong with the clean install. thanks
