My display adaptor (ProVidia9685) BY: Trident. Before Windows98SE boots-up the display is perfect, however...when Windows boot to the desktop, I get these Horz-lines accross the screen. I switched minitors, samething. So, it has to be the driver, orthe PCI-card itself? I down-loaded a driver for that FCCID/Model. The computer: Pentium 75MHz. Installed driver. Checked Device Driver Proporities and no errors were clear. Drivers stated "devices worked properly." Can you offer any place where I can get more info on "board info" like, "pin position" or "jumper placement"...etc. Places to download drivers, "old/new." Thank you....

If the same thing happens on two different monitors, it's the video card. Try one of the monitors on another computer to be absolutely certain that it is not the monitor.

Drivers do not control pixels. You'll need to replace the video card.

I used only one monitor at a time. I'm sorry that I stated "Horz-lines"...correct this to VERICAL (up-down)lines. As I adjust the resolution the lines get bigger/thicker-low/res hi/res adjustments.The image distorts as the mouse scans the desktop, also. System shows no errors or driver conflicks. Please lead me to info about lines (VER) accross desktop screen using card stated . Thank You....

You can get drivers from Cnet or drivers.com I have had good luck from both. You should also go to system/display and check the refresh rate and resolution. bring the resolution down to 640x780 and then check to see if the correct adapter is displayed under the adapters tab.

You need a NEW VIDEO CARD -- drivers or instructions will not help.

The hardware (the video board inside your computer) is going bad. If your video board is part of the systemboard, then disable on-board video (in the BIOS) and purchase a new video card. Computer hardware does heat up/cool down -- it wears out over time.
