heres a weird thing... oldest devil spawn turned on rig yesterday morning ...and all the windows and taskbar ect is in the old grey basic look of windows.
so being the smart arse i am .. i went in personalise thru control panel.. and told it to do win 7 look... but it wont
i also went into performance and told windows to choose "best apearance" no performance or do what it wants... still no good
i did recently re-install it keeping all my folders ect... due to crashing ect.... but the proccessor was getting to hot... i re-applied some paste to it and the inside of the g-card..and both have been ok since.... but now this ffs...
any ideas

Re: rig going mental..
If you are still getting crashes, something may have got corrupt or drivers aren't installed properly (but you would know when you played CSS if they weren't).
Re: rig going mental..
thing is i havent changed any drivers for graphics since last one that ati released..... and ive had no new hardware installed either.... ill do a few more tests...

Re: rig going mental..
sry smart arse question to have but have you messed around with your screen size like when you tab between games couldbe the garphics setting set to default or something like that shit sometimes you can just recopy your shortcut to might fix it. I done that once it worked
Re: rig going mental..
nah .. apart from downloading two games which i couldnt get to work anyway... and unistalled em..i havent changed anything.
BUT.. there is a new driver for the radion HD 5*** series card ... so i unistalled the other one...and done that.. STILL NO COCK ENDING GOOD GRRRRRR
just done the stress test on css.. im getting 225 fps... which seems normal..and my screen ress is set at normal as well..
so why no aero...could it be windows failing again it ...

Re: rig going mental..
I would say a reinstall is needed, a proper one after formatting.
