0 MxxCon Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 actualy that could be your trouble.. i have gf2 and my experience with all new drivers have been pretty bad. i'm sticking w/ 23.11 for now. perhaps you should try to find even older drivers..about time when gf1 was released did you always have this prblm?

0 Ravager Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 I dunno what it is... I formatted and it worked fine for a while. Then I dunno what I installed, but it started happening... anyone know of any diagnostic software or something that could help me pinpoint this mess? It's really bugging me.

0 Ravager Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 I figured it out and I'm ticked off about it. See the bar on the bottom of my screen? I had it set as Always on Top... so i turned off that option and problem solved :dead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
