I am having difficulty finding a culprit for my computer problem.

My computer (the actual date, I do not know) has been running with exceptionally poor quality. Possibly graphics card or monitor related, I checked with both manufacturors to no avail.

I have been watching AVI videos, and they look mashed and sloppy, a problem which has come about only recently. I can't really explain it well, but the picture is fuzzy.

Below are specs from my graphics card.

Right click on the desktop and click properties. Click the settings, tab what does it say? Resolution should be at least 600x800 and Color quality should be 32 bit and your video adapter should be listed above that under display. If it's not you have to install the video adapter with the newest drivers from the manufacturer..........
 
Just in case, don't forget to uninstall the old graphics driver before installing a new one.
