    Hello.

    My computer specs are as follows:

    3.06Ghz Pentium 4
    GeForce MX4 440 'GO' (Mobile version of the Geforce mx 440. I know, it's crap, but I can't upgrade my notebook...)
    512mb RAM
    Windows XP PRO

    Well, that's the important stuff. The less important, and non significant specs are at http://support.packardbell.com/uk/mypc/index.php?PibItemNr=P920400501

    Now. My problem is my graphics. On multiple games and programs I get an annoying vertically-split double screen. It looks like two monitors overlapping. I have tried to take a screenshot, but it just shows the game without that particular bug, but with a different bug... Have a look (That is the UNEDITED screenshot - I did not do anything but convert it to Gif!).

    The problem only seems to be in effect in fullscreen mode. If I play it in window mode, there are no flaws. This only seems to happen if either the res or the color depth changes.

    The following games and applications I have seem to have this problem:

    Doom 3
    City of Heroes
    Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
    Living Cell 3D Screensaver

    The following games I have do NOT have the problem:
    Morrowind
    Battlefield 1942
    JFK Reloaded
    All Valve 'Steam' games
    Vampire: Bloodlines
    FlatOut
    Pirates!
    SWAT 4: Multiplayer Demo

    Thanks for your help, guys.

    The picture ya posted, is what I'm looking at chopped off image/screen?
    Plus your getting some doubled screens?
    If so I'm thinking has to be driver problem, but some games are fine??? HUMM!

    The screenshot is exactly as shown. Chopped off screen and black bar all.

    There's only really one driver I can use, which is the one I do use, but I already tried reinstalling and rebooting. It didn't do anything.

    The doubled screens are kinda like what you get with a badly tuned TV channel - But instead of scrolling it stays in the same position.
