Thatonedude1 Posted October 16, 2006 CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 ive been having this problem recently when i play computer games that my screen looks like someone shot a bullet in the center of the screen, and it looks like the moniters is just shattered glass, everywhere. It makes me not be able to see anything and I have no idea how to fix this problem, is it my Video Card? or is it some setting. It happens on almost every game i have except ones that have bad graphics. can someone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltageman Posted October 16, 2006 CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 You could run a quick test of your Direct X, which will simulate gameplay... Run --> dxdiag --> Display ----> Test DirectDraw & Test Direct3D See if that comes up with any errors or problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted October 16, 2006 CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 press teh PrtScr button on your keyboard, most of times found over the insert key.... Paste it into microsoft windows paint or any type of a program....save it to your computer, and upload it here by clicking the additional options link under the text area where you type up your post....

disturbed Posted October 16, 2006 CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 holy crap...ive never seen it that bad.... geez.....do you have your video card overclocked ? what are its temperatures..... all of that could lead to gfx corruption like what you are seeing if you have a beefy video card, is the power supply strong enough ? do you have the latest drivers ?

Swimmer Posted October 16, 2006 CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 wow that is impressive.. I have never seen that either.. Is this steam or the older cs? Have you tried upgrading your graphics drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 16, 2006 CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 make sure you have the latest graphics drivers as well as the latest directx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted October 16, 2006 CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 this is what it looks like Looks like you're playing in "Cataracts Mode" Joking aside...Damn that sucks.. What kind of video card do you have? How old is it? What size is your power supply? If you have an nvidia card, try uninstalling your video card and driver, then boot into safe mode, and run the Nasty File Remover (attached). This will rid your system of old driver files. Run the NFR until it comes back with no driver files, then install the newest drivers available. There is also an ocx file attached. I needed it to run it, you may not. If you get an error for the ocx file, just unzip it, and place it in the same folder as NFR, and it will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted October 16, 2006 CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 Sometimes the newest drivers can cause problems as well, at least I've noticed it with Nvidia and older cards. For example, with my card, if I use the 91.47 nvidia drivers, I can't play any video file, in any format, with any player or the whole computer will lock up. Right now im using the 84.** drivers. I would get rid of any drivers you have using the method voltageman suggested, and try using the original install disk first. If you still have the same problem, upgrade the drivers to the newest.

Thatonedude1 Posted October 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 16, 2006 I just wanted to let you guys know i do aprreciate the help you guys are giving I tried what you said Voltage, and it didnt work for me. i tried to install the old drivers, made it worse, and now i have the newest drivers which are making it better, but its still there. you guys think buying a new video card would solve it all? (thats a last resort, i dont have that kind of money on hand lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thats a last resort, i dont have that kind of money on hand lol) How old is the card that is in there? Have you tried to remove the card, and reinsert it into the slot..Perhaps its not sitting right in the slot? Can't hurt to try...Of course, power down, remove power cord, and discharge yourself before you touch the card.. Do you know anyone that has an old card that you can just test with? Is power supply ok? Perhaps it's not putting out enough juice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatonedude1 Posted October 17, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 17, 2006 i have a... geforce 6600 GT and i did try removing it, didnt do anything. its as old as battlefield 2 (why i got it)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted October 17, 2006 CID Share Posted October 17, 2006 questions i asked before: what are the temperatures you are getting on the vid card ? - is your power supply strong enough ? also...if there is an additional 4 pin connector on your video card...make sure you connect a power cable to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted October 17, 2006 CID Share Posted October 17, 2006 if there is an additional 4 pin connector on your video card...make sure you connect a power cable to it And if there is one already there, try a different one...Perhaps you have a bad connector??

Thatonedude1 Reply 5 & 6 The images or screen shots show as this when I use properties: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=16562.0;attach=18181;image http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=16562.0;attach=18183;image That's 2 of them.On my OS while they load I can see the image but once loaded they have the white square with red X.

Most image properties end like this below I am not having a problem with them. http://home.comcast.net/~dhedge3443/testmy/new_sig.jpg http://www.heresthething.org/GIJEW3.jpg http://www.testmy.net/forum/member_uploaded/avatar_39.png http://www.testmy.net/forum/member_uploaded/avatar_1010.gif Anyone else have a problem with the first 2 or an idea hoe to fix it in my OS if you aren't? I use IE6 with Windows ME.
