Title: PC Help Post by: Eck on January 23, 2013, 09:20:25 PM Recently re-installed windows on my desktop and the graphics are now really jittery. I had a video card installed on it to allow 2 monitors to be run but can't find anything for it.
i realise i need to install the driver for the card but i can't see the name in device manager it only says VGA controller which i believe is the generic version is that correct?? bit vague i know but any advice would be gratefully welcomed Title: Re: PC Help Post by: outragous76 on January 23, 2013, 09:36:36 PM Open box, get name off card and google drivers

Any ideas?

don't think so the monitor worked fine a few days ago and like i say when i boot i get the windows logo etc so it is ok must be something missing somewhere. Title: Re: PC Help Post by: Graham C on January 24, 2013, 08:47:18 PM Not a weird screensaver setting is it?
