    DVD video quality

    I would like to know if upgrading the graphics card to say a 128 mb card from a 32 mb card will improve sharpness of dvd quality when watching it on my LCD monitor. My monitor appears very sharp on everything including DVDs until I bring the DVD video to full screen. Then it is slightly grainy...

    floppy makes noise

    Can anyone tell me why when I open some programs my floppy drive makes a couple of short noises like something is trying to access the drive. Similar to what it does when the computer boots and the drive is checked on boot. Sounds about like that.

After checking it was the retention bracket for the cpu. The side that the cooler clamp is on had broken. The studs...

    Desktop aspect ratio problem

    oK I think I've figured this out. As long as I use the native resolution backgrounds everything works good. Although I need to figure out if I can scale my old backgrounds to fit this screen and not look stretched. I'm looking now for image editing software that might work for this. I've been...

    Desktop aspect ratio problem

    I have already tried that and it doesn't work, although I have figured out a few things. You can edit a copy of the wallpaper in paint and press the default resolution of the background. It originally says 640 by 480 then it will change it to 640 by 512 so that it is geometrically correct for...

    Desktop aspect ratio problem

    I'm hoping this is the right location for this question. I'm on my second new LCD monitor and I've noticed that if I use backgrounds with objects that have cirlces the circles are slightly longer top to bottom rather than being true circles. I first noticed that even rond icons were slightly...

    wrong size for web pages

    Your not understanding. I simply changed the resolution in display settings. Prior to this I never had any such problem with pages being small in the browser window. Something was altered when I made this change and when I put the setting back everything went back to the previous resolution...

    wrong size for web pages

    Don't know about all that. This is on the Yahoo home page that worked fine and filled the screen until I changed the resolution to a higher setting and then changed it back to it's original setting. It appears to have altered a setting in the browser that did not change back with everything else...

    wrong size for web pages

    I recently changed the settings for resolution on a 19" monitor to the highest settings and then back down to the 1024 setting. Since then when I open the browser the web pages won't fill the screen. They are blank on each side and won't go to the edge of the browser frame. It's like the web...
