Ok I'll try a reinstall. Please note I'm using Vista so all JAWS video
intercept issues have been eliminated and instead mirror display drivers are
used. Yes I study at Birmingham and live in Derbyshire.

Dear Chris
Have you tried to re-install the display driver anyway?
Alternatively try going back to a working drive image made before the
distortion problem ?
If neither of these work I fear that it maybe time for an engineer .
If it is out of warranty I do know a good computer repair man but he is
based in London . I know that you are in the UK but I seem to recall you
are in the Midlands somewhere?

No, the drivers are up to date.

It does sound like hardware but I would suggest re-installing the display
driver first before sending it back.
Actually updating rather than re-installing may be the best course if you
know the name of your graphics card perhaps from Device Manager or
Belarc
Advisor, and can go to the web site.
Unfortunately this will knock out your Video Intercept Manager with Jaws
so
a re-install here will also be necessary. I think NVDA can continue
working
irrespective of updates to a graphics driver.
Hope you can get it resolved.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Screen problem
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with my Compaq laptop running Vista Home Premium
with
latest updates. I've had reports of the screen looking garbled, i.e.,
displaying lines instead of actual graphics. Does anyone know if this can
be
fixed? If so would it require sending the laptop off for repair? Because
I
don't have a spare machine to play with but at the same time I'd rather
get
it fixed before it doesn't work at all.
Please advise.
Thanks.
