if absolutely everything looks odd, then the monitor is at fault. or possibly the cable if it's removable.

The general windows display is fine...........I just expected that software written for these cards etc would be quite spectacular, they look and perform just as they did on my old xp on board graphics pc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) go to amd.com and download catalyst 8.9
2) uninstall your display drivers
3) Install the new drivers
4) Play.

Well just so you know I'm using the 8.8 drivers myself. You may want to download those instead.
