Logitech problem on MSN

Ferox448
Hi, I'm sorry if this is a repost, but I did a forum search and couldn't find anything directly linked to my problem. Could anyone lend a hand please? I recently purchased a Logitech QuickCam in the UK, mainly since it advertised MSN compatibilty, where I intended to use it.

RE: Graphics are scrambled upon startup

m-soloaaxx
;( Hi guys, my monitor displays scrambled graphics upon startup and at other times too. Usually the problem goes away as soon as the logon screen appears or the welcome screen, however I reinstalled a game last night and the graphics were horrible.

Unique problem with Nvidia MX4000

punkeros
I have this unique problem (at least i think it's unique) with the 3D FUZION GeForce MX4000 card. I got this cheap card just because it has a tv-out port and it was cheap ($49) and installed it on my spare computer (i used this PC just to download movies) everything went smooth until i tried to play avi files.

Gigabyte GA-7ZXE not POSTing

Kilokahn
My brother was nice enough to give me his old 1. 2ghz Duron in a Gigabyte GA-72XE. I wanted to use this as a nice NT server to host some files, however it is not going as planned. To tell you what I did, I first went to: I have the manual and I plugged in everything it needed.
