So i just bought a new system i7 930 12g of ram asus p6t mobo evga geforce 470 gtx. My issue is my slave screen which has my 4 shamans on it isnt clear. On my old system i could read the text on their screen and everything now i cannot and image there is kind of blurry. i tried all sorts of resolutions and this was happening with my 4870 graphics card as well before i installed the 470 today. Any ideas that might clear it up would be a huge help

Is the text kind of squished, making it unreadable? That's how mine is and I was told it was because of ISBoxer's instant swap. I forget exactly why it does it but, whatever ISB has to do to allow instant swapping causes it.

If it's the same thing, you should be able to disable the instant swap feature and have clear text again. I haven't actually tried it myself though, I just left instant swap on and learned to deal with the bad text.

naw problem is both my 22" screens are suppose to be 1680x1050 when i set them both to that resolution my icons all move to the 2nd screen which is bad cause when i start up 4-5 wows it cuts off about 2 inches(length of icons) and puts it on my 2nd screen if i could figure out how to get them both 1680x1050 and equal i would be fine. Im forced to do 1 screen 1680x1050 and other 1600x1024.

Have you tried auto hiding the icon bar?

what driver version are you using? I had a similar problem with windows, I think it was a driver problem with the beta 260.63 drivers I was using. What I did was unplug the monitors and plug them back in.

another thing you might want to check is the scaling/resolution of your monitor through the monitor's settings page(on the monitor, not in windows). if that does not work write down your color settings for the monitors and then reset to default factory settings.

also there is a feature in nvidia control panel that you can set to use the nvidia drivers to scale the monitors, see if that is checked or if it is using your monitor built in scaling and try changing it.

another option is go to device manager, and under the monitor section right click and uninstall the monitors, unplug them and plug them back in so the nvidia drivers and windows can re-detect them
