Preserved Topic: I installed new windows (Page 1 of 1)

Hi!

I just finished installing Win2k and all drivers and stuff....
On my previous windows (WinMe) the screen was so nice to look at, but now at same resolution it just kills my eyes!
why?! I don't know what have changed...It's just to intenese and I didn't even play with it's settings recently!

Can someone suggest?

so, you are talking about the desktop in winme, right?
what exactly has changed? maybe it's the color depth?

Install new drivers for your graphic card and adjust monitor (brightness & contrast)...

well,
Do I have to adjust the contrast and brightness again?
But If i boot in WinME again, everything looks perfect! But not in Win2k.

Max: I'm using same driver on both..but colors and intensity varies
Grumble: Color Depth, how can i adjust that?

Dunno,

Could it be a conflict from having 2 Windows OS on the same machine? I don't know, it was just a thought.

hey lallous.. sound like a driver conflit, make sure your video card driver is compatable with win2K.. you might have to dload a win2k driver for your card...(i had this problem when changing from winME to win2K..)

good luck!

Colour Depth: That the difference between 256 Colours, 16 Bit, 24 Bit and 32 Bit colours. it's in your display properties




In the beginning, there was the word...and the word was 'God', although by the time it reached the other end of the phone line... the word was 'Gznd'

ME is not an NT system, while 2k is an NT system, and in that light you will need a different driver for your monitor, and maybe other pieces of hardware, such as network cards, and external or non-plug-and-play cdroms.

Good luck.

Yes, ...I have the Win2K's drivers...

I played around with colours and screen till made it like it was under ME.

Thank you all for your help.

Just to let you know guys...
the problem was from Refresh Rate.....

While we are at refresh rate, if you want to change default 60Hz refresh rate in DirectX applications (games), you can do that by using "dxdiag.exe" utility...

Thanks Max. I'll remember that till the time I need it.
