Hi,
don't know if you guys could help me, I've purchased a new graphics card for my pc yesterday (Geforce 6200, 512 MB DDR2)
I had an onboard graphic chip before that just had 32 MB.
Installation and adjusting was no problem, but no matter how I adjust my settings (brightness, gamma etc) the imagews all look slightly blurred, so does the text. As if there is a smudgy edge to everything.
I have an AVG monitor. I have the newest drivers installed (Graphics and monitor) but the problem persists.
Anybody has any idea or knows a tool that analyzes the settings and recommends the best adjustments ?

Hello Gerda  A couple of years back I bought a PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 PCI Graphics card - 256 MB DDR SDRAM. I seem to remember some of what your describing after the installation....the text looking slightly blurred and not fully sharp. I think what I did was download and installed the latest drivers and then made sure my monitor resolution settings were correct. After that things have been fine. I wonder if it's your monitor  Is it capable of handling your new graphics cards' highest resolution setting??

I wonder if it's your monitor Is it capable of handling your new graphics cards' highest resolution setting?? that is exactly my problem as you describing it. I've downloaded and installed the latest drivers for my card + monitor, but to no avail, all still is slightly blurred. It is really frustrating as I am working a lot with images and everything now looks so muddy.  My monitor supports the resolution settings I am using, I have been playing around with the res settings as I thought that might be the problem, but the problem persisted. hurray, that looks pretty good. Thank you Martin !  I was looking all over the net yesterday nd visited several pc forums but nothing really helped, now this looks really good. I'll try it later. I everything does not nor work I uninstall the card and throw it out the window

in the meantime a question regarding my BIOS settings of the motherboard.
when I look in my motherboard BIOS I have two settings listed there and I don't quite know what they are good for:
OnChip IDE Channel0 [Enabled]
OnChip IDE Channel1 [Enabled]
I remember vaguely that IDE has got something to do with graphics, though I could be totally wrong.
does it help if I set the IDE settings to [Disabled] ?
Do the above settings have anything to do with the onboard graphics chip ?

Register or LoginGerda,
I would NOT recommend disabling those options.
Check what IDE controllers you have in DEVICE MANAGER.
Open up a command prompt (START...RUN) and type... devmgmt.msc in the box and then hit enter.
Device manager will open. Scroll down the list to IDE ATA/ATAPI and click on the +.
Disabling IDE in the BIOS would stop your computer from recognizing any external devices using IDE including external hard drives. Also some internal drives. I.e. CD ROM, etc.
. How's your fuzzy screen problem?

. How's your fuzzy screen problem? Hello Martin, thank you for the infos. As for my fuzzy screen problem, I did try the step-by-step solution yesterday but got stuck at step 4 of part 1 when I could not find the proper nv4_disp.inf file. I downlaoded the newest driver, unpacked it and when I wanted to edit it I lost track of where I had saved it to on my HD. I did a search for that file, and Windows came up with 5 different files of that name (2 were .inf files, the other 3 had no extensions). So I quit because I had little time and a chaotoc file structure where I could not find the proper files anymore, plus the driver update file, so I did not know which was which and which is the one I had to edit  if you can follow me :) But I understand the guide you gave me, I will try it later tonight. I think I will also completely remove all the nVidia drivers before starting the solution guide again.

Let us know how you get on. All the best, Martin.

OK, now i did all that. Deinstalled all NVIDIA drivers and components properly. Then I followed the instruction Martin gave me via the link he provided. Everything worked, no problems. I am of the impression that is has become slightly sharper, the text now is sharp, but images still have a slight blurriness to them. I know that I won't buy an NVIDEA card again, lots of people appear to run into problems with their card installed. Thanks so far, you guys are terrific Do you guys think the captions of the photo below is sharp, or a bit blurry ?
