Please advise not sure if it is my Monitor LG1919s or graphic card Creative
Labs CT 6970 at fault. Problem my screen is now displaying grey horizontal
lines as though looking through a Venetian blind.
any window I open showing grey tint where as before would be white
background. I have refitted said card, done a auto set with monitor, done a
system restore point but still no improvement.
I run Xp pro sp2 and had no problem before, so something is breaking down.
My board is ECS SIS 735 K7S5A system a few years old but has worked great.
Any checks !! PS device Manager no problems but have checked it for update
drivers.

Regard Roger

Try changing the resolution and see if the problem goes away. If you know
anyone with a laptop, have them come over and hook your monitor up to it. If
you go into a full screen game, do you get the same effect?

Thanks for prompt reply, changed res, no good, My normal is 1280x1025 32bit.
I have a desktop but trying to borrow another flat screen for test. I am a
pensioner so don't play the games ! Like this reply where the word line
finishes the banding continues to edge of doc

If so if I am to replace my Creative CT 6970 what type would suit my old
board etc etc. It may pay me to get a used, as system oldish compared to new
standards and would be waste spending to much as I don't do gaming but don't
want to drop performance.

You would appear to require a Graphics card that has an AGP 4 interface
