Hi, can anyone help. My graphics card a Sparkle NVIVIA GeForce TI 4200 AGP8X 128meg has started playing up. When you run the mouse over an icon, instead of showing what it should it shows what looks like a barcode. Often the screen goes black then comes back on. Any one got any ideas on how I may be able to put it right. Any help would be must appreciated. Thanks

Hi, thanks for the relpy. I have been on the net for the new driver but it gives me 3 or 4 different ones and not being too great on here I dont know which one to use. I use XP home edition with service pack 2.
I have just taken the card out and given it a good clean as there was a bit of dust on it and the fan. Would it be possible that the fan isn't working or would that show up in the properties of the card.
