Question : Problem: checkboard anomoly with all video and 3d

Ever since I tried using an S-Video cable to get a dual view going on with my TV (I have done this in the past with no problems with the same vid card/drivers) I get a strange purple checkerboard on all video and games.

I tried unplugging the s-Video cable, same problem. I uninstalled my ffdshow codec, same thing. I uninstalled my video card drivers, problem solved! However with no video drivers there isnt any way to play games or use that s-Video output either :P.

Here is a screenshot for good measure: http://s3.supload.com/free/checkers-20080424221045.jpg/view/

Answer : Problem: checkboard anomoly with all video and 3d

Well the problem has been solved. I opened my case and took my video card out, blew in it, unplugged the power supply plug going into it and plugged it back in, made sure everything was seated nice and tight and removed the dust from my CPU heatsink. I guess somewhere in there the problem was solved! Thanks again for the support.
