Vista with CRT monitor and garbled graphics
Hi,
I have an annoying problem in Windows Vista when using a CRT monitor. When I start a game in full screen like Team Fortress 2 or often just by accessing something that triggers the UAP screen to confirm running as administrator the picture on my monitor goes complete garbled - See http://swootech.dk/VistaGfx/Vista%20...0-%20Small.jpg (I enabled the monitor OSD manually to check it was not running unsupported refresh rates). The only thing I can do to get the picture back (besides shutting down the computer) is doing a "switch user" (CTRL+ALT+DEL, Arrow down, Space) which restores a nice logon screen in perfect graphics. I enter my password and the desktop is back to normal. I have tried re-installing Vista, selecting the default Nvidia drivers, the WU Nvidia drivers, and multiple versions from Nvidia.com - no difference. I have tried to enable or disable this TMM setting - no difference. I have also tried another CRT monitor and it had the same problem. I tried multiple resolutions - no difference. I have an XP installation as well and there are no problems like this when using XP. I have tried to borrow a LCD monitor and connect to my Vista machine and there is no problem running any of these things that makes my CRT monitor display corrupt graphics. Running games in windowed mode work fine. The computer is a HP m7360.dk with a Pentium D 920 CPU, 3GB RAM, Nvidia 7900GT based graphics adapter, and a 22" Compaq P1220 CRT monitor. The OS is Windows Vista Ultimate x64. Any advice on what I can do to get around this problem besides buying a new LCD monitor? Thanks, Rune |
