Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / November 2005computer question
Well, I can't figure it out, so I will ask youse guys ......... When I bring up my home page, or ebay, or lots of sites, the pictures look like mosaics. They are recognizable, but appear as small chunks, like a mosaic. I went to control panel - display - and went through the stuff there about the drivers and updating. It said it had the latest driver, and that it was functioning properly. Well, it isn't. Am I missing something simple, or is my video card shot?

If you can display local pictures (i.e. ones on your system) then your video card isn't shot. Cheers, Joe > Well, I can't figure it out, so I will ask youse guys ......... > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Steve What sort of video card and what resolution are you running, and what (program) do you have to display pictures? If your video card has a higher resolution than your picture display program, it will appear as squares and smaller then a full picture size.. Sounds like what you are seeing... Simple way to check, go to control panel/display, and set the size and number of colors to normal size (lower res) and 16 colors.... If that's it, don't forget to change it back! >>Well, I can't figure it out, so I will ask youse guys ......... >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > number of colors to normal size (lower res) and 16 colors....

Tom J If you are getting into the internet via a dialup your provider might be using one of the "enhanced" speedups like someone mentioned. Providers like Earthlink, Netzero and others offer this and charge you more for it (14.95 per month versus 9.99) it just caches the pics to a lower grade pic to speedup the downloaded page. If you have a photo program open up a picture in that from some other source? Or a desktop background image on the boobtube If it looks crisp and clear your computer is probably ok and its the connection. If you are indeed on cable modem (cox.net?) then lord knows what the problem might be more technical in the computer/cable modem? My sisterinlaw had the speedup dialup caching stuff and if you clicked on the picture (I think right click) you got some options of looking at it differently?

I do not think that will fix it but it is worth a try, I think it is lack of system memory and resources causing it.

I dump cookies and temp files two to three times a week, so that's not it. It's got 512 of RAM, so I don't think that is it. It displays some pics OK but not others. Am going to venture into my ActiveX controls and see what I can find there. Just got home from three days near Cedar City, Utah at the cabin. Four inches of snow Saturday. Deer and wild turkey tracks all around us. It was 10 degrees this AM. Closest I've come to RVing this month. Am going quail hunting in my RV soon, and season is on until Jan 31st.

Check your settings again one that's working to find with one is not correct. SignatureMoParMaN---Remove Clothes To Reply! --SCUD Coordinates 32.61204 North: 96.92993 West--
