Default Weird Display problem.. Please assist
Greetings people.

Breifly put, i sold my PCI E graphics card to a distant friend of mine because hes into gaming and i no longer am, but when my monitor is connected to onboard video my picture is really fuzzy and distorts a lot, sort of like a rippling effect. I have installed the drivers for my onboard and the problem persists. I get the Rippling effect from the moment i cut the pc on.

The problem goes away when I switch the desktop resolution to 800x600, but the icons are extremely big and things dont fit the screen ( but the distortion, rippling/fuzziness ceases)i'm used to working at 1024x768 and this will not cut it for me..

Is there a solution to this problem? I also have the most recent set of drivers installed.

My Onboard Video is ATI Radeon Xpress 200 series.
I am using Windows XP pro Sp2.
Motherboard:Intel D101GGC
Pentium 4 3.0 ghz hyperthreading
Direct X9.0


Thanks

From what you've put it sounds driver related.

Have you completely removed the driver for the graphics card?

Also, have you updated/installed the driver for the onboard graphics? I ask because if the pc came with the card installed the onboard graphics will be using window's generic drivers to run.

seems like the resolution 800x600 gets rid of the problem, but everything becomes to bloated for the screen to capture.
