Hi, a short while ago I had to replace my graphics card (6600GT), and ended up replacing it with an MSI HD 4670
my problem is now that the card is in and working if I right click on the desktop and choose properties the display options screen doesn't open. I can't get into it through Control Panel either. I thought it was maybe off screen if the desktop was extended, but it doesn't appear in task manager either.
There is a slight problem with drivers atm but not sure if it is connected: when I boot into XP I get a dialogue box saying "fail to load nvcpl.dll" as a result I have run driver sweeper in safe mode to remove nvidia display drivers, and reinstalled the ATI ones - no change.
I have tried uninstalling the ATI Catalyst software as I thought that may be getting in the road somehow but no change.
The most annoying thing is that I normally don't have a screensaver on as I don't leave my monitor on when I'm not using it, but had for a particular night set a screensaver to whatever the lowest time interval is, so now I can't change that...
if anyone has any suggestions I will be all ears.
edit: just noticed if I have no browser windows open, then for a split second I can see part of a window open when I try to get into display properties, then it vanishes.
