Okay, here is a fun one for all of you! This is not a problem that has to be fixed (I am unwilling to spend too much time on such a minor annoyance!), but I am curious if anybody else had/has the same issue.
I am running win2k, direct x 7.0 (also does it on my machine with 8.x), IE 5.5 sp2.
ATI rage mobility AGP (I know, I'm sorry too) 8 MB
Everything looks good (this is just a work/utility computer) until I log onto Tek-tips. This is the only place that the video gives problems thus far. I get a sort of artifacting across the blue sides of the page. They tend to get white lines Vertically down them (although that varies a bit).
For example, now I have about 20 of them in the blue between "tek-tips forums partner" and "member feedback" spots. If you hover the mouse over a link that has the white lines over it, the lines go away from that link (also covers threadminder much of the time). Also, scrolling the web site on/off the screen will make them disappear, reappear, or change locations.
Incidentally, it only does this when at 1024 resolution (any color depth). And yes, video acceleration is set to full. If I drop OR INCREASE resolution, issue goes away.
I can change video cards and the issue goes away. I am leaning towards bad card (I have tried updated AND older drivers). just curious! And thanks for the info! ----------------------------------------
