302297 2004-12-12 09:06:00 It would be helpful if you advise what application / programme you use to view your images in. Greg S (201)
302298 2004-12-12 09:55:00 photos open in windows explorer (jpeg) i have no special photo system, i might add that some of my icons on my desktop like the internet explorer icon (large e) appears grainy as well. jimmy (1346)
302299 2004-12-12 10:04:00 It really does sound like you have lost your display drivers. If it was the display adapter that was removed, it will have reloaded with default drivers. That usually causes the problems you describe.

To be certain, can you advise what the settings are (Control Panel - Display - Settings)?

The screen resolution and Colour Quality would be interesting. If the resolution is 640 x 480, that would be the problem.
