Horizontal Lines WHAT IS GOING ON!
I have a problem with my system that seems to be plaguing every game and DVD that I play. I have ATI's Catalyst 2.1 drivers (I have yet to try Plutonium and the others) and in almost every game that has a OpenGl or Quake related graphics system, I seem to get a horizontal line that distorts the view. This gets real irritating after about 5 seconds, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what this is and how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreaciated since ATI can't help me out either. Thanks a lot.
My system specs: AMD Athlon 1GHz 30GB HardDrive Radeon 8500 64MB Retail DVD LiteOn 16X Epox EP-8KHA+ WinXP Home |

Right click your desktop. click properties. click settings. click advanced. click opengl. turn on vsync ("wait for vertical sync"). Now click Direct 3d. Turn on vsync ("wait for vertical sync").
If that is not the problem you are having, then you might have an appeteur grille monitor which uses "stabilizing lines" or something of the sort (i have appeteur grille, and the lines never bothered me...). |

I tried the Omega/Plutonium drivers and that seemed to get rid of them. I don't think the monitor's apperture grille, the line seemed to be something of a graphical glitch. Thanks anyway.
