This is my first post. I think I'm in the right place--
I get shadows from any lines of font, from a graphic or any other item displayed on my monitor screen. I changed monitors and still get the same thing, so it's not a bad monitor.
If I have a line of font I get shadows behind and to either side of it going all the way to each side of the screen. If the font is dark and heavy the darkness of the shadow is half the value of the font, say a hexadecimal value of #E0E0E0. Lighter font, lighter shadow. All shadows are always gray-- even from colored font or a colored graphic.
I have a 4 year old Sony Vaio PCV-R556DS Digital Studio. It's received a lot of use. The graphics card is NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Pro.
Would this have anything to do with the fact that I've noticed at about the same time all the above happened that my clock is losing about 1.5 minutes per week now?
If this is the graphics card, how can I confirm the diagnosis myself? And how much is a new one going to cost me?
Thanks,
DeValle
