The VGA Cable... take 2.

[Jamesy]

I had that issue once. But it was a driver error from nVidia.

Yeah the reinstallation of the driver has fixed the colour for now.

Hoorah, hoorah! I have fixed it but also caused another problem!

I went into safe mode on a low res, and I was able to uninstall the gfx driver. Then I rebooted normally and I then installed the gfx drivers. I was then able to fiddle around with the settings, and I have it in the proper resolution at 60Hz refresh rate!

There is, however, one problem. Everything seems a bit smudged. Only slightly, but it's very noticeable! It looks like it's windy and the wind is blowing the text to the right.

Ah and I dunno if it's just my eyes but the screen seems like it's jittering.

Any help?

Press the "auto" or equivalent button on the monitor?

Done it already, not working. Tried memory recall too, whatever that does.

Try 75 hertz (if it's available)

Not available, but I managed to get it into that with nVidias custom resolution thing. Still blurry.

Most things are clear on the screen - it's only as if somebody has gently smudged the font and some images... with a motion blur. The cable is plugged in fine.

Maybe it is the cable...

What's the other cable like?

I know I have a cheap VGA cable which puts like a shadow on some things.

The cheap unshielded cable doesn't make the text blurry nor the images - it's crisp. The issue with it though is that it makes some weird vertical lines after text on certain bg's and login boxes and other images have vertical lines on/around them, like a ghost image... which is annoying. With this shielded cable those vertical lines go, only to be replaced by annoying horizontal smudges! :@

Yeah, the cheap unshielded one does the same as mine - like a ghosting thing. I don't really know about the new problem, but it's probably the cable. I've learned not to buy dirt cheap cables now though.
