Screen problems on xp

[robrowboski]

Hey i am running xp and my internet exploer and my desktop icons look all like there in blocks and the quailty is just terrible and i just installed the new nvidia driver and it still looks bad i went into computer setting where you select the background and other stuff and nothing is working

[Broni]

...just started?

[robrowboski]

no it has been this way for about two days since i got the computer running but i did get a new monitor

[Broni]

since i got the computer running

You have couple of threads out there, so which problem was it? Link, please.

but i did get a new monitor

It started with new monitor installed?

[robrowboski]

well this is a totally dif problam than any other ones. and no it started even with the old monitor

[Broni]

When you still had your old monitor, do you remember doing anything special, when your problem started?
Your new monitor is brand new? CRT, or LCD?
Also, you have to try your video card in OK working computer.

[robrowboski]

 no i don't think i did  i installed xp and it has always looked just like in blocks and the video card is runnning good it has all the new drivers installed on it so im kinda stuck on how to make this thing look good ,oh yeah and it's also and LCD

[Broni]

Still...

since i got the computer running

What was wrong with it?

[robrowboski]

Nothing really it was just an older computer and i just needed to put in a new hard drive and power supply and then you helped me fix the ethernet driver(thanks)  and now it runs like new ecept the screen quailty is crappy  i would compare it to something like, if you were to just plug in cable with the cable wire into your hd tv .. the picture would suck and it would be worse quality than your sdtv. but i  totally don't know how to make the screen look good when i saw it on display at the store it looked good but since i brought it home it just looks like crap

Maybe just the colours/resolution/refresh rate aren't set to the monitor's native settings? Look in the manual and set them to what it says.

I am also having screen problems with my windows XP. My pages are choppy, they break up as I scroll, the page will pause and scroll pause and scroll. I cant play games at all and its a pain to surf the net? Does anyone know what my problem could be? This happened right after I uninstalled some software. I dont know if this is related and how I even check? could someone help me?

What is your video card name, and model?
Did you install monitor drivers (CD, that come with monitor)?

[mforaker23]

No I bought this computer used so there was no CD's or informational tools with it. It was running very slow so I uninstalled a bunch of programs and then it started with the scrolling and reading problem. As far as the the Model and stuff I dont know how to even look for that but I have an "explora GS28E" from everex. Microsoft home edition
