Hi,
I have a LCD flatscreen which displays wavy fuzzy screen. Initially i thought it was a faulty monitor, so i got it changed twice, but the wavy display persisted.
Thinking that it might be a faulty graphics card, i tested out the graphics card on a different pc (also using the same monitor, WinXP, Intel P4) at the same location. But there wasn;t any wavy fuzzy display.
I have thus managed to root out some possible causes below:
1. Radio/tv/speaker interference
2. Dirty electricity supply
3. Faulty monitor
4. Faulty graphics card
5. Refresh rates, phase.

All the above mentioned "suspects" are not the ones causing this problem. I'm suspecting it has got something to do with software/hardware compatibility. I'm hoping if anyone is able to help me to diagnose the frustrating problem. Thank you very much. Your help is very much appreciated.

my system is:
Intel P4 1.7Ghz
Geforce Nvidia 2MX 400
1 Gb RAMBUS
40 Gig Harddisk
CTX PV 505 flatscreen
Windows XP

Heck yeah, I'll try moving every single thing that might be the cause of interference... but I dont think it might be, since it spontaneously occured after a new installation of XP. And when I booted into the old installation of WIN XP, it worked fine! Then booted back into the new installation, and it didnt work... so I booted into the old, and it worked, but when i booted the new one... IT DIDNT! THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!

If it does work in the old installation then it is most likly just a driver issue. The only way that I can think of to fix this is to reformat the drive to take off both installations of XP. Than reinstall XP. The problem was most likley a faulty setup, so in theory reinstalling(fresh reinstall, you must format the drive first!!!) should fix the problem.

Hope I was able to help.

Ive tried to install WIN XP ten billion times, but not with a clean format... just deleting the old partition and creating the new one at setup.
Ill try that... It just might work...
cheers buddy!
