For evryone out there. It really upsets me when someone posts a quesiotn and somebody responds with a request for some driver or another problem not related to the original post. Come on people use your brains...

I suppose you could ask people to start a new thread, but that's really for the people that run this site to decide. It doesn't bother me.

I agree with TopGun. Keep the subjects together. Much easier to help people that way. And while we are on the subject of helping people it would be very helpful if question askers included what platform they are running, and as much other information about the problem as possible. Not just fatal error, or scanner. If you are going to take the time to ask for help give us as much information as possible so we can help you faster. Hard to help you when we have to try and figure out just what is wrong. We don't mind helping, but help us help you. Please?

I sorta agree with Topgun but don't mind if another question is related, those 'where can find a driver' questions piss me off too [all of 'em] but it's really in the interloper's interest to post a fresh new question on the main board as more people will see it and more will respond [theoretically anyway]. And as for JJ, you have improved abit since the infamous 'what is a #$@%ing DLL file', but I couldn't help with the rest of them, sorry.

To JJ:
You might have ask alot of questions giving alot of details, but you didn't ask them to me. I can give you a list of people I am helping privately right now to install hardware, or programs on their computers via email instructions. I don't give up till I find the solution. Right now working with a guy from Scottland on installing a parrell port. So don't put me down, if you haven't ask me. Thank you.
Terri

Terri,
Help me, too!I have a creative labs graphics blaster riva tnt video card which up until a few months ago has been awesome. Now, whenever I go on the internet, some of the images on web pages are blurry. Only the images, not text or banners or anything like that. Only photo images or screenshot images. I have been to creative labs support and nvidia, no help.
