like in my last post that I fixed my modum by a soldered link to make it
constantly on because the on button had broke, found it to ark when I pluged
it in to the power. I thought the ark was traveling through the ethernet
cable and corrupting the system file in my win xp that made it unable to
boot. well now my 3d card has probles that I think is in the same ball park.
When i reinstalled xp everything was fine - system file fixed - everything
was good to the eye but tonight I was trying to play mpg and wmv movie files
but now instead of being full colour they are black and white. I have tried
another clean install and with stock xp they are in full colour and seem
fine but I play games and need to install directX 9.0c but when I do they go
back to black and white. I know its the directX from systematicly installing
and using "system restore". I have tried two versions of directX but no
better. I have the latest drivers for my card too. Is it possable that an
ark can go up the ethernet cable and do this? Is there a free progie that
will test my 3d card and say what is the problem? and now that I think of it
I have done the test in dxdiag.exe for my "display" and "test direct3d" and
the animation of the cube is way to fast at a hundred miles too fast as I
have not seen it like this before in this test.
Would it be my card doing this or my mobo or cpu? I have an Asus Geforce4
Ti4600 128mb 4x agp card and so far there is no colour problems with the
rest of my pc but some avi files play ok and some dont.........
