hi,

i have a toshiba Tecra M2 notebook with XP Pro and a NVidia GeForce FX
Go5200 32M/64M graphics card. The complete unit came preloaded from Toshiba.

When i start the machine, the wallpaper loads up crisp and clear and then
after XP has loaded up.... and before the startup programs (Microsoft
anti-spyware and ALRoboform) starts loading the screen goes black for about
6-8 secs and gthen the wallpaer comes on.....only to have the wallpaer with
jagged lines and not crsip as it was before the black screen.

Any ideas as to why this shouild be?

Thanks for your help.

Ravi

Download and install the BIOS update dated 7-18-2005, then download
and install the Windows XP Display driver dated 9-21 2004.

After installing a fresh set of drivers, right-click on your
desktop and select Properties > Settings, change the Color
Quality to "Highest (32 bit), then adjust your Screen Resolution
to your liking, then click on Apply.

Also, download and install the new ClearType Tuner Powertoy:
