Default Help... my new Graphic card just doesn't seem right..

I installed a 128 Gforce 6200 video card and the pics on my pc seem okay but graphics on the net seem screwy ..and so does my desktop ... here are some examples...







I updated everything ... put in the latest drivers and all.... I don't know what else I can do...

I think if you're a big gamer, you're gonna be bummed....


I've turned if off plenty of times and still thought Word, Excel and Powerpoint were pretty zippy!

I'd turn hardware acceleration back on and try to fix the problem. Mess with the refresh rates and that it is set to a supported rate. Make sure you have the correct monitor driver installed.

Turning off hardware acceleration on a decent graphics card makes it pretty much a total waste of money.

I spend a few hours on this stoooopit card... and as you say..when I turned off the hardware acceleration the pc was like a turtle..I was ready to remove it and stay with the stock one....after downloading all types of drivers...I guess I must have got the right one..... now I turned it back on and all is great.... and my pics don't show midgets no more...


Thanks guys...and Merry Christmas!!!
