ATI & Vista

[sideshow4069]

Bought an ATI X1300 graphic card about a year ago, not a PC gamer so only needed something cheap.

At the time i installed Windows Vista but the picture would not display correctly, all the text seemed slightly fussy and had a slight shade of green to it, so i reverted back to XP, presuming that the disply issue was my monitor (TFT)

I have just bought a new monitor and have reinstalled Vista, but still seem to have the same problem, so i presume that it must be the graphic card.

Is this a known problem with this card, i have loaded the most up todate drivers but still no joy.

Can you get alternative drivers ? anyone else had this problem ?

Cheers

happens often when the connection into the back of the card from the monitor comes loose.

Can also happen if the card is deaded.

Could be that the cable is damaged too.

I get odd colour as well if my DVI cable is not fully in, usually a green tint or just doesn't look right.

Just push the cable back in and its sorted.

Cheers for the replies, tried the cable and making sure the g/card was in the slot correctly but still no joy. Time for a new card.

Anyone got one of these ?
