I just tried something and had a minor success.. i turned my hardware acceleration down a little and the "anomalies" in the "My Computer" window went away, but the ones on my desktop stayed, i turned it down a little more and those went away but i went on google and there was white "anomalies" in the banner at the top, i turned it down all the way and all the anomalies went away.. but then i couldnt play my online game which is what i bought the new card for in the first place >< what is hardware acceleration?

one thing >.>;; the instructions say things like save to a floppy.. the thing is my floppy drive stopped working for some reason a while back >< wasnt bothered since i use USB sticks but is that a problem?

so i just unzip and follow the instructions? >.> is there any risk by using this thing? my pc is old XD terrified of breaking it.

i just looked over the instructions, my brother installed the card first, i was getting alot of static electricity shocks that day and was scared to touch my new card XD anyway it says in the instructions "you MUST disable the integrated graphics first" ..now.. i know more about PC's than my brother, and i dont know if my PC has them or how to disale them, so he wont have done that step.. can u tell me how to find out if i have them, and if i do, disable them? that might be my problem x.x

im linked to it by a wireless router from my brothers PC, i dont even know what the ethernet thing is XD lol im gonna A: try find my fan and B: open the side panels lol ok i did the side panels and fan thing, my temps went down by 9 degrees C, but the problems still there ><

i can only see 2 fans that i have, one on the back of my PC, and one on the new graphics card. i wated the temp in the BIOS for five minutes like u said, heres the temp: system temp. at start: 30C 87F CPU temp. at start: 40C 107F (these F's might be off ^^;; we use C in england) system temp at finish: 33C 91F CPU temp at finish: 47-51C 123F oh and im still getting the ethernet controller thing >< i looked again, no cards were loose, and i looked in my divice manager and i only have 1 controller. do i need drivers for it or something? XD

any idea what those things are? they occur in my online game too, my game doesnt crash anymore though so i guess it was my vid card :)oh, and since i installed the new card i keep getting "found new hardware: ethernet controller" >.> whats that? [Edited by Diamondis on 2005-12-31 19:49:33]

is it ok to install those drivers? >.> some drivers came with the new card and those are the ones i installed.

my brother wouldnt let me use his card XD so i bought a new one, Nvidia GeForce 6200, i installed it, i havent seen my screen flicker yet >.> *touch wood* but my screen seems blurred and theres like.. little black squares in some of my screens

i think i have 256MB of RAM, i only have one.. RAM.. thing.. <,< lol.. i have another PC that works fine, its has a different graphics card in it, think i should try that one in mine?

oh no.. >< my screen is flickering again.. and i dont have any drivers installed!! except the one you gave me the link to im so confused
