Thanks Fren for your input Ill try what Shovik suggested re sysdm.cpl

Hey Pal! No issues. Just stick around We need your help too

Hi Shouvik
I missed a reply from you a few minutes back. I did check the drivers and as I don't have a disk I down loaded them from web (from Nvida) the graphics card is NVIDA Ge Force2go (gateway) and I think its an on board card from what Iv read
I also did a check with some other tool which checks drivers and and it said that those were up to date.
Sorry the pictures I just sent were so hopless I have to use my camara then download to another computer

Take your Time. Now if the Graphics Display is Nvidia one more good thing would be to go an check in NVidia site for this kind of problem. and in GeForce 2 which model?

Ok Shouvik
I was just now checking for newer drivers as I noted that they were version 1.6.2.0 and dated 23 .10. 2001
I think I gat later ones in fact a and tried to load them but my be that didnt happen as I didn't remove old drivers Ill recheck any how with the dates as Iv got them stored I think I have been reading of someone else having a display problem (a service tech ) and he'd narrowed it down to display adapter ?? but found its on the board any how Ill carry on in that vane the display just looks to good and clear in all its repeated form to say that any part of it was fault Ive just got to think that its receiving corrupted info
Thanks again Steve M

OK Steve,
Just try downloading fresh drivers from NVidia Site and give it a try. If at all it works you might be exempted from the hassle of changing the Graphics Adapter/Motherboard. In turn you can ask for more Info from Gatewey's Solo care center.
good luck

Hi Shouvik
I had no luck last night, just kept finding the old existing drivers I am just now getting some newer ones from Gateway
Those in place at the moment are 2001 and and the newer ones are 02 still pretty old but then its an old laptop (serial #0024815780)
Things happen slowly here I have 3 computers running on 1 modem and a slow broad band service !!
ill let you know what happens
