Reset to I.E. 7 (just for now) - Will try "8" tomorrow -

Getting those others now -

EDIT -

I assume you meant to turn them ON - That is what I did -

All seems OK - If nearly done - It is 330 AM - I'm a day person and "she" yells if she hears too much K/board stuf

Oh, ok. Does IE7 display the same behavior? If so, then it could be an issue with IE8's caching feature that it uses (similar to that of Firefox) where it remembers the pages you've visited in your various tabs to open them again should the browser crash or you accidentally close it when you only meant to close a single tab.

[noknojon]

Yes I do remember (do you want to resume last) or similar with 8 but not with 7 -

EDIT-

Just checked the 1st problem - No problem now -

I think you got it Watson old man !!

[exile360]

So IE8\7 is working correctly now? Excellent .

Now I just need that manufacturer name and model # for your monitor and we can try to fix that issue .

[noknojon]

ViewSonic VA905 - Hope thats right I'm looking at the back as I talk -

EDIT -

Only reason I ever mentioned the monitor is because I thought the new vid card would make things a bit better -

Alright, I found the manual online and it says the appropriate settings should be 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz.. To verify these settings open the NVIDIA control panel, accessible by either right-clicking on your desktop background or in their tray icon (the little green eye with a squiggle). Check the display resolution and make sure it is set to 1280 x 1024 and verify that the refresh rate is set to 60 Hz.

Let me know if this helps or not or if you have any questions.

Thanks

It seems that is the setting now -

I will leave it at that and I might just alter the EVGA a bit -

Can't see screen now - Just me - Ha - It is ok for now -

IE8 may have been a bit of the problem , but it seems better now -

EDIT-

Anything - Going , Going - Wait a min -

Joking

Have you tried the monitor with a different PC? If it's older it is possible that it's starting to fail as I've seen similar problems with LCD's I've owned when they started to age.

I'm glad the IE issue is resolved at least, and now you've got a slightly faster PC with less junk on the box, that's always a plus .

Once you get everything adjusted correctly in the NVIDIA driver settings, go ahead and press button 2 once on your monitor to see if it helps things. This is the Auto-Adjust button and will enable the monitor to refresh and re-detect its settings. If it doesn't help you can also go into the monitor's own settings as documented in the manual here and play with things a bit, just be careful and remember button 2 should you make an adjustment that renders your screen blank or unreadable as it will reset it back to defaults.

Let me know how it all works out.

Thanks

No worries - I will play in the morning with all the screen settings -

Thanks for now -

[exile360]

You're very welcome and good luck !

I reset the screen colors and other stuff , now the picture is clearer , sharper even though some dark black writing (like on the forum) is a bit ~ colored it is clearer - That is (I think) only because I lifted the settings a touch higher than normal -

I think we have got the autoruns items cleaned as good as we can - - Still trying to remove some of the items AdvancedSetup picked , and I will over the next few days -

Thank you for all the help with cleanup etc -

This is with new DDS program -

As per my above post I am going to get to the items you said to soon -

EDIT -

It did not ask for Optional scan ??

Not listed as DDS scr ?? Just dds -

[AdvancedSetup]

Are you using the Yahoo Instant Messenger or the Live Messenger?

[AdvancedSetup]

Please post a HJT post so that I can compare it.

[noknojon]

I use Yahoo - Granddaughter uses other one -

Somehow I activated Live Messenger to come on at startup, while looking if she had activated Limewire in one of her folders -

[noknojon]

(Zipped due to forum topic and area -)

EDIT -

I think Limewire has been deleted ?

EDIT/EDIT -

Just realised I did not disconnect from I/net to run DDS -

Low/lack of some good vision controls may also be due to age of screen - As per exile360 -
