your post is not easy to read.it sounds like your graphics card drivers are messed up.rightclick on my computer and select properties.select device manager.find your video card in the list.you may need to click a + to see it.rightclilck the entry for your card and select uninstall/remove/delete then rebooot windows and see if it detects the card and reinstalls the drivers correctly then set display properties as required.hth

Windows will have generic drivers that should work , new device wizard should kick in and guide you . If you have your driver cd be prepaired to insert it .

Boy howdy, that's hard to believe.:shutup:

Have you tried a different monitor on the off chance that ME is actually working and the display is borked?
I know, I know.
It's the OS.
Still worth a try though.

Failing that, do you still have the icepick that MS included with each copy of ME?
Stick it in your eye now.

lol sounds like u accidently put a magnet close to your monitor, happened to me a year ago. I had to trash my CRT because the magnet fucked up all the colors and shit.
