Okay, so the problem is my video card/monitor combo. I have a somewhat older machine with an AGP video card slot....so i just up graded from an old piece of crap video card to a NVIDIA GeForce 7600GS. I have an Acer AL2216W(22"LCD), and with my old video card the image seemed to be clearer and the resolution would go up to 1680X1050, but with the new card at that resolution the picture doesnt fit on the screen, its too large and u have to scroll left to see everything. I currently have the new video card at 1600X1200, but even at that it's fuzzy.

Can anyone help?

Thanks so Much
 
uninstall the old driver before you reinstall the new one.
It doesnt make any sense if the driver is installed correctly.and then maybe there's something wrong with your new grafic card.you can make sure that by installing the card on your friends' computer.
 
Ill see if i can try it in another computer, but i did uninstall the other drive then installed this one, i don't know whats wrong.
maybe the card is bad.
 
what kind of monitor are you using? 1680x1050 sounds like widescreen. some monitors dont support that. and then if you have a widescreen, then 1600x1200 would stretch a bit to hit the edges of the screen and shorten at the bottom and would look a bit odd. so it could be your monitor, and not the card :) a 22" screen seems like widescreen, but im not entirely sure, but if it is, 1600x1200 is too high a resoution, my 26" doesnt go past 1366x768. if you put it to there, or the one lower than that, which is 1200x800, but it might be a solution.
