I just got a new computer, P4 2.66ghz, with a ATI Radeon 9500pro. In windows, when I drag a window, the edges of the window are distorted while it is moving, with strange horizontal lines that distort the edges. The same thing happens when playing 3D games, the edges of objects and walls will be horizontally distorted when they are moving. Its really kinda hard to explain, these horizontal lines kinda ''break'' the edges, and it looks strange. And I know its more than just your typical anti-aligning thing. Ive updated my drivers and everything like that. Any help would be appreciated. Im using a 4 year old 19'' CTX ultra screen monitor, if that means anything.
 
If that were happening to me, I'd be testing that video card in another machine (or another card in this machine); and checking if it can be replaced if defective.
 
Yea...but I really cant do that anytime soon, and really dont want to. Any other Ideas? Please?
