UNSOLVED
Need help!
Hi I am new to the forums and I need some help! I have a Dell XPS M170 laptop and I just formatted my computer with the windows cd it came with. Once I did that I installed the drivers from dell.com and now when i use it every image i see on websites look very bad as far as quality some of them are even hard to read. I have the upgraded video card too the Nnida 7800 Go Gtx. The computer was not like this only until i formatted it. Also it seems to be slower and i think its because of the video card as well but im not sure... Can anyone help!?
- I am using Windows XP and my current driver version for my video card is 8.4.6.9. Everything on my desktop looks crystal clear and great but websites look bad and everything seems to be running VERY slow compared to before. Such as when I have 1 internet page open and try to open a new window that takes a lot longer than it used to even if IE is the only thing running.. That might have to do with ram or maybe even the video card too. And like i said earlier this all happen after I reformatted my computer never happen before.
- By the website images looking bad what do you mean? Do they look pixelated? Can you still read the text fine? Does this only happen with website images? Also, you can try downloading the nvidia drivers straight from nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_163.71.html let me know if this helps.
- Yeah like everything looks pixelated... Such as images that have words like on this site the where it says "Dell Forums" the quality of the picture looks bad and like the letters are squeezed together. Another example is if you go to yahoo.com and look at the big Y in yahoo on the image and if you look at where the letter slants it looks bad if that makes sense..
- Ok well i tried to download those drivers and once I reached the setup part of it after it extracted all the files it gave me this error, "The NVIDA set up program could not locate any drivers that are compatiable with your current hardware. Setup will no exit." ??
