Monitor Troubles!

[Dan007]

now im not sure if my eyes are stuffed or its my monitor...

but what im looking at right now is alot of shadows....everything is shadowed about 5 times on the right side & quite frankly i can't stand it

i have reinstalled my monitor drivers & also downloaded the latest nvida drivers (52.16) and still nothing has worked..

if anyone has had this problem, or is willing to help...PLEASE let me know!

thx

What monitor is it?

Does it have a re-set button on it?

It's an acer ac901, 19" crt

only had it a few months...
i went into safe mode and everything was fine....

& im not sure about the reset button

im really confused about this one.

Welcome to TechIMO BTW!

Well the good news is you have a 3 year warranty on the monitor if the monitor is the problem.

And it does seem to have what they call: "digital control" which will allow you to degauss it.

I doubt if the monitor is bad though and at am at a loss as to what else to suggest.

They do have a driver on this page "inf." Check and see if your driver is the same.

Try Computer / Properties / Advanced / Perfomance / Settings
Look for the setting 'Show shadows under menus' and 'Show shadows under mouse pointer' and uncheck those if checked.
Click Apply and OK and see if that might help.
