Windows Vista desktop problem - Help needed
 
Computer fixed, never mind.

OANST 09-20-2010 09:43 AM

Hold on. I'll take care of it right now.

Dynamithix 09-20-2010 09:49 AM

Please do, OANST.

No but really, real help is appreciated.

There's your problem.

Dynamithix 09-20-2010 09:54 AM

That's just spamming, you guys are no fun.

RyuuFox 09-20-2010 10:14 AM

Wells the only thing i can think of is restoring your computer to an earlier date . but first download a free virus program just to make sure that it isn't a virus that's causing it ;C

Sure we are. We just aren't helpful.

Dynamithix 09-20-2010 10:58 AM

Bleh, it might be the graphics card that's messed up. I'll try to figure it out.

I won't be using the forums that much for a while, I guess.

(This is like a vacation for OANST, haha.)

No time like the present, you stupid new person.

Vista? lol.

Wings of Fire 09-20-2010 02:22 PM

I use Vista and I've had a grand total of 0 problems ever.

OANST 09-20-2010 02:26 PM

This just in: If Vista is used for it's true purpose (watching Japanese babies talk about their feelings), it will have zero problems ever.


Sorry, bro. I had to.

Wings of Fire 09-20-2010 03:38 PM

uguu~

Dynamithix 09-20-2010 08:56 PM

Great, I got my computer temporarily to work by updating the drivers to an older version and then back to the newest one. Still, those pixels and lines of ugly colors are haunting me. I fucking need to fix this soon.

PS. All of you are assholes except for RyuuFox.

Nate 09-20-2010 09:51 PM

Have you tried using a different monitor? That problem may not be the computer at all.

Strike Witch 09-20-2010 10:32 PM

remove the video cords and place the ends in a glass of water.

Well, I only have one monitor and I'm almost 100% sure now that the problem is related with my graphic card/whatever ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro is... When I downloaded the latest drivers for it, the computer worked fine for let's see... 30 minutes. It can't be a virus, I let avast! scan the computer and only few infections found and I eliminated them. Nothing happened. Maybe I just need to buy a new graphic card then...

Mudokon_Master 09-21-2010 01:38 AM

Something similar happened to my Grandmother's Vista. I fixed it by simply setting the resolution to a higher amount of pixels and the colour quality to 64 bits.

Crashpunk 09-21-2010 02:15 AM

I have Vista...It sucks.

I have the Vista Home Premium, and I think this only goes to 32 bits.

I AM PRETTY SURE THAT WOULD HARM MY COMPUTAH.

Ridg3 09-21-2010 04:58 AM

Not if you cut the cords first.

shall i get the hotdogs and whipped cream?

OANST 09-21-2010 07:58 AM

Your ass!

Nemo 09-21-2010 08:43 AM

It's computer cancer. Place your computer in a microwave, the microwave radiation and raviolis will counteract the cancer

scrabface 09-21-2010 09:40 AM

sounds like your video card is broken.

try this: make a screenshot when you see those colour noise again and post it here. if we can see it on the screenshot, then your monitor is fine.
open the case and look if the fan of your video card is working properly

anyway, those colour noises are a typical sign that your video card is kaput. simply change your video card

and next time, don't waste your time and post any computer problems in here, these guys won't help you. there are forums for this issues.

Dynamithix 09-21-2010 10:06 AM

Scrabface, I'm sure the problem is in the video card, because I was about to play Minecraft and it said that it was unable to start because of "Bad video cards".

By the way everyone, is video card same as graphic card?

Also, I think the video card is built-in in the computer. It can not be changed I guess.

OANST 09-21-2010 10:09 AM

Is potato the same as potato?

You can't tell but I totally said them differently in my head.

Dynamithix 09-21-2010 10:24 AM

Interesting, OANST.

Don't forget carrots.

yes, you can.

Mudokon_Master 09-21-2010 09:27 PM

Why don't you take it in to a computer shop or something and see if the pro's can do anything about it.
Unless you have to pay a ridiculous amount of money, which is probably the case :(

I'm going to. And my parents have a "ridiculous amount of money", haha.

OANST 09-22-2010 06:23 AM

I've never hated new people more.

Dynamithix 09-22-2010 06:26 AM

Well (un)lucky you! I got the computer fixed.

PS. A mod can Necrum this thread.

Nate 09-22-2010 06:01 PM

We don't do that.

Dynamithix 09-22-2010 07:19 PM

Then who does? Can I close it?

Nate 09-22-2010 09:15 PM

We don't close threads*. Just stop posting it and it will die on its own.




*generally speaking
