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

1. Reinstall the video drivers. Get them from Toshiba's site for your
specific model laptop. If that doesn't work -

2. Contact Toshiba tech support because your video card is probably
failing.

For laptops, it is a better idea to get drivers from the laptop mftr.
Most video chips have been made specifically for that particular laptop
OEM and model machine.
