Hey all..
Ihave an NEC Multisync 1700M+ , 17" LCD Monitor.
Had it now for a few years, and always ran it at 1200x1024 @ 60 HZ @ TRUE color. THis is great sizing and has always looked good.
Thing is, last nite, a friend of my sons used that computer to play games online. Nothing was installed etc....
AND somehow, the "look" of the screen has changed. At the righthand side of anything on screen, an icon, a folder, a file or it's name, there is now a light-colored shadow -- sort of an 'echo' of whatever it might be. It is VERY bloody well annoying and I want to get rid of it.
First thing I tried was to go to Display Properties > Settings and I now see that what WAS the maximum size of 1200x1024, is now up at 3000x2400 ????
Oh, if I set the res to 800x600 the display is PERFECT, focused wise - that is the problems go away, but I don't wanna use that size...I wanna use my old 1200x1024 !!!
And I've tried to make changes to any of those settings to get "bacK" my nice clear focused display to no avail. I've downloaded drivers for the monitor and installed same, no help. I've played with everything inlcuding the pretty basic monitor management settings themselves, to no avail.
WHAT in hell happened? Does anyone know WHY this happened and how I can get back my focused display?
Anyone else run into this? Where'd all those NEW resolutions come from and how can I go "back" to the old focused display???
