    Strange Display Behavior

    Hi all:

    I am running Vista Ultimate with Dual Monitors, and I get some funky
    behavior when I try to watch TV, especially if I try to use a small window
    so I can continue working. Watch the video here...

    I have a GeForce 7600 GT and the latest NVidia Drivers....If anyone knows
    what's going on please let me know.

    John.

    I've seen your screen doesn't really look that bad as far as I can tell it
    may well be a driver problem.
    There is also a slight chance it may be your power supply but that would
    only apply if your using a power supply which is less than 400w

    Hey:

    Thanks for the reply. I doubt it's the power supply as it's 450W average
    power. Also, the system functions perfectly in XP, and Vista is supposed to
    be better at performance!

    John.

    Re: Strange Display Behavior

    Yes I'm sure it's not your power supply
    I'd say it would be fair to say it's probably a driver issue I noticed you
    have an lcd and a Crt display it would be fair to assume the lcd display
    would be running at about 60-75Hz if for example your Crt display is
    running at around 85Hz then this may be causing some issues with your
    display driver it maybe worth trying to lower the frequency of your Crt
    display to 75Hz so it matches the frequency of your lcd display and it might
    also help to set both displays to the same resolution.
    Not sure if it will help but it's worth a try I guess
