Unhappy Asus v7100 pro

Hi ppl

I'm having a little trouble with my display. Everything in media player is blocky and so are jpg's and some other things. DVD's are ok, thats the weird part. Games are average, some are great and some are not. I updated the drivers to detonater drivers but it makes no difference in anything. Please help me cause it is getting so annoying.

Justin,

The only thing I can say is that it is probably not your V7100Pro that is the problem. You should have had more graphical problems then. Do you use Media Player by Microsoft? If tes, try to uninstall (and remove) it totally. It might be the cause of a conflict.

Good luck!

Peter

By "blocky" to you mean pixelated? If so, you might want to see if your DirectDraw acceleration has somehow been disabled. Go to Start->Run then type in DXDIAG .. go to the "Display" tab and see if DirectDraw/Direct3D/etc. accelerations are enabled. If not, try to enable them by pressing the "enable" button.

If that doesn't work.. have you run NetMeeting on the machine or Desktop Sharing? If so, disable those. They force DirectDraw acceleration off.

Hope this helps!

Hi delusion ,thanks for replying.


No, my Directdraw is enabled, and i checked everything else that could cause any problems, but didn,t find anything unusual. The Twinview Detects two monitors all the way, but the primary monitor is my monitor. I tried to disable it, but no success.

I'm considering buying a Herculez 4000 XT Just to see if it's better, and if it is i'll use the ASUS for a future system.

BUT any other suggestions are very welcome. I appreciate the help around here

C ya,

Justin Bailey

Hi,

If you have the time and you want to reinstall your windows you can find out if the problem is hard or software. A clean windows installion should not give any problems ofcourse. If after a clean install there is still a problem you can do 2 things: Check latest drivers for the mainboard and check your hardware in another computer (maybe in a computer store?).
Most of these problems are caused by previous installed and removed hardware.

Best regards,
