[blacknight31k]

Ok here's the problem, My wife plays game called toontown online. When her charactor enters in certain areas in headquarters there are bots that emit a light, like a flashlight. This light is supose to be on solid, but on her pc it "flickers real fast and her charactor does too, so bad that she cant ell what is what. I know its not the game because i have went with her on my pc and everything works fine.

Here are her spec's:
7sido chaintech
xp-1800
2x256 pc266
nvidia gf2-ultra
25gig ibm hd
xp-pro sp2

This is what i have tryed:
put in another video card (no fix)
rolled back driver from, 66.93 to 61.77 to 61.66 ( no fix)

My thinking is since the mobo is old, the gpu may be going bad. Since the ploblem is getting worse.

Any Suggestion's?


Thanks For Any Help

Have you tried changing the monitor refresh rate or maybe increasing the display settings and color depth?

I did change refresh from 60 to 75, and resolution from 1024x768 to 1200x1600, and went to lower resolution. Did not help.

The only thing that had changed since the problem started is the driver's, I first did the update to 66.93 thought that might help.

Thanks For Any Help:t :t :t
