Lately I've been having problems with "ghosting" and "streaking," which
appear to be the quasi-official terms for little bits of images hanging
around after closing a window and spotty vertical lines cropping up all over
the place. I've tried searching for some answers on google and the closest
thing to a solution anyone had is that it's caused by gremlins in the video
card.
At the same time as the streaking, other issues appeared too. Opening some
video files will crash windows (after it reboots, xp tells me that my nvidia
files have caused a serious error) and many games are doing strange things
in 3d that look like a model has a handfull of its vetrices nudged a few
feet away from it, stretching polygons all over the place.
I have the latest drivers for my card (a geforce4 ti 4200) so I have to
assume that's not the problem. The only event this all coincides with, that
I can remember anyway, is installing planetside. I only had a trial account
so I've since uninstalled the game, but the streaking, crashing videos and
the strange polygon problem that first occured in planetside are still
around.
Do any of this sound familiar to anybody? If so, please help.
Thanks,
