<0> try the monitor on someone elses computer
<1> It's only been like this for about a year. I ignored it. Then I tried replacing the monitor and switching power cords. Neither helped.
<2> Jabo
<2> JKL
<1> It's a clear wavy line. It's actually many diagonal lines.
<3> the most important thing for computers sometimes is the power quality in your house
<2> could be a video card issue
<0> oh so u tried another monitor on ur computer and it still had happened
<1> Correct.
<1> Also tried switching outlets.
<2> could be interference from something
<0> more than likely its a video card
<0> if not then i have no idea
<1> Now that I think of it...I tried the monitor on another computer and the wavy lines didn't happen anymore.
<1> must be the vid card then
<1> or something involving this computer
<3> try it out, go to a big computer store where you can return the video card
<1> k
<2> oh they didn't
<3> make sure they have a good return policy like bestbuy
<2> what video card is in the pc causing the problems
<1> Riva TNT2.
<2> heh
<2> does it have a fan
<3> old school
<1> No.
<0> what kind of card is it
<0> and what monitor is it
<2> what brand power supply
<1> Well, this has happened with 2 separate monitors. But since one monitor is NOW on another computer, that monitor no longer has wavy lines.
<1> AOpen power supply I think
<2> good
<2> Aopen = sparkle
<2> = good
<2> swap the video card from the other pc
<2> see if the lines vanish
<1> Good idea. Since I'm not looking to do any major upgrades though...can you think of any cheap video cards that are at least as good as the Nvidia TNT2?
<3> lol
<3> buy one from ebay for $5
<1> :) That'll work.
<0> really
<3> ebay is the greatest site for buying old junk
<0> u cant buy one for 5 dollars
<0> or can u
<0> hmm..
<3> i saw a radeon 7500 sell for 10 bucks
<0> lol
<0> thats messed up
<0> did it work
<3> and that card is like 10 times better than the riva tnt
<0> heh
<2> yeah
<2> dude if you don't need 3d
<1> One thing I did notice that I dont understand is how the video card has 3 pins that aren't connected to anything. I mean these are pins (or prongs if you call them that) that are sticking out the side of the card and don't do anything. I'm not sure what they are for.
<3> well, people sell their old crap for so cheap
<2> actually even the $8 cards will have better than tnt2 3d
<2> JKL that's ok
<1> k
<2> so the card swap first
<2> then we can go from there
<2> windows xp right ?
<3> if you're talking riva tnt 2, it sounds like you're either using an old pentium system or a entry level pentium 2
<1> Win Me. Yeah, I know....it ****s.
<2> uh
<2> get rid of ti
<2> format and install 2k, xp or linux
<2> m$ is ending all support in june
<0> agreed
<2> no more security updates etc
<0> me sux
<4> for who
<4> flyback
<4> which os
<1> 1000 MHZ system. Bought it in 2000. It basically does everything I need it to do...but it's not spectacular that's for sure.
<2> dude
<3> celeron?
<1> Pentium
<2> it will run 2k or xp fine
<2> if it has 128 meg of ram or better
<1> I tried XP, but I only have 256 megs of ram and I was surprised by how sluggish it was at times.
<2> you can tweak it :)
<1> Yeah, I did. :)
<1> same issues.
<3> jkl, you a celeron eh?
<1> Pentium III I believe.
<0> what did u tweak
<2> what does it have in it
<1> 1 Gigahertz.
<2> 2 slots or 3 for ram
<3> go to system and check
<3> 256 is ample
<3> the problem with the sluggish is the video card
<1> The menu and background image. Along with programs running in the background, etc. MSconfig and all that stuff.
<3> buy the radeon 7500 and you'll be flying
<2> stupid canuck
<3> i just finished fixing a pIII-500 256meg 20 gig with an ati 128 and it works fine
<1> I never knew the video card affected speed unless you're dealing with games.
<2> yeah about the same system here
<2> JKL it usually doesn't
<3> sure it does, your system has to draw
<2> triumph
<4> esd :|
<2> tnt2 would not make the system draw
<2> but tnt's have driver issues now
<2> how "convient" for nvidia
<1> yeah
<2> read "they rigged the drivers"
<2> basterds
<3> you dont need a high end card but you need at least about a 16meg
<3> to run in xp smoothly
<2> dude you disable the xp interface
<2> problem solved
<1> I'm pretty sure i tried everything to tweak it. But it's been a while so I dont know for sure.
<3> that and do a clean install, dont upgrade to xp
<5> i got my cock locked loaded like a glock i bust caps in bitches got their britches in stitches nine months later... i'm the impregnator
<2> yes
<2> 1000% LISTEN TO TRIUMPH
<2> do no upgrade over win9x
<3> omg, that's the first time you've ever said that :~(
<1> So upgrade the video card and stick with WinME?
<6> Kuragari: You there?
<1> or no higher than win98?
<3> sounds like your video card is crapping out
<3> replace the card, format and install windows xp
<3> a 1 ghz is fine for xp
<3> so is 256mb
<2> triump
<1> K.
<0> i need help installing ubuntu
<2> i am running 2k on a celeron 566
<2> 256 meg of ram
<7> Which operative system do you use, flyback ?
<6> Eeehh.
<3> ew.. i am anti celeron
<2> 2k
<2> it was free
<6> XP works fine on my PIII 500 Mhz with 256 MB of ram
<7> cool
<2> so shut the canuck up triumph
<6> You don't even need 1 GHZ for that
<4> pwned
<7> Windows products are banned in the goverment administration, here in Spain
<3> as long as you have 256 megs of ram, you are ok
<7> Official institutions and ministries can only use free software products
<3> windows is a ram hog
<2> yeah well
<2> spanish is mega socialist
<2> those morons thought if they played nice with the terrorists and backed out of iraq
