Oct. 2nd, 2006 08:04 pmI'm not sure if it's the video card or the monitor that's f'ed up.
If I try to open MS or other full screen game, the picture goes wonky, concave glass effect, streched out in the middle, close together at the edges. With MS it's more pronounced, though. And I can't lower the resolution of my screen to 800x600 as I normally have it (near-sightness) or it distorts too.
I don't want to make the investment on a flat panel monitor right now, not because I don't want it (I do!), but because car & insurance payment are due this week. Though... I get paid this week....
But it may be the video card, then I make the investment for nothing. Not what I want!
ARGH!
If I take a screenie of my distorted monitor, but when I open it, it's not distorted, is it the video card or the monitor?
Help!
Uh, this means no MS (fuck!), until I figure this out.
