I finally got my shiney new system, which arrived this morning. Its so far so good, especially with Vista, however a couple of questions...

I tried playing a movie (using windows media player) and the picture seems to jump quite a lot when I go to full screen (its fine when its only a small picture) is this graphics card? monitor set up or something else. I am running 1680 - 1050 Res at 60hz. This is really frustrating me and I cannot find any help anywhere on it, I've been looking half the day!!!

Secondly, I have read about people complaining about back light bleed? I have noticed a very small amount, is this normal, are you going to get a bit whatever the monitor and if so how much is too much?

Oh and I've just thought of another one!! Whats the best settings for the monitor?

Cheers

Wrong forum mate...

I would install the latest drivers for your graphics card via the Nvidia or Ati websites.

Vista is very fussy and I can't see Dell putting the most up to date ones on prior to shipping.

Cheers, Dave.

Hi Dave.

Sorry for sticking it in the wrong forum!

Thanks for the reply. I only have the intergrated graphics card at the moment. where would I get the drivers for that and what would I be looking for (Dell E520)??

Should I download the latest driver for the monitor as well, or should I stick the cd in that came with the monitor??

Cheers

They will be up to date then mate don't worry about them.

When going full screen the quality will depend on the quality of the recording.

Do you get the same problem when playing a genuine DVD full screen?

Its a genuine DVD (Lord of the rings) which I am trying to play, so the quality is perfect.

It works fine when I don't enlarge the screen but if I go full screen it just lags, like its struggling to keep up. Jumping around

Is the card just not powerful enough, what with running Vista?

It's possible the on board graphics can't keep up.

How much RAM have you got?
