I have a problem with my mouse double clicking when it's not supposed to, and as it turns out, the number of times you click the "quick quote" button, is the number of times that the same quote will be repeated in the message. Not anything major of course, and it can be edited easily by the poster, yet I can't think of any usefull purpose for it letting you quote the same message more than once in the same post. That's all.

are you talking about this kinda stuff?

http://img460.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screen003sz9.jpg

I have a evga 7900gt and its been happening for awhile, in BF2 , BF2142, and sometimes WOW.

Its very annyoing and I think its the drivers that nvidia is releasing, not the best ones yet.

Yes that's exactly what I mean. That and dots appearing on screen (which from the looks of that screenshot you don't have), letters during bootup being the wrong color as well as spelling errors during windows install, and random double clicks when i only clikc once.

 [edit]

haha, see how it quoted you twice there? I ONLY PRESSED ONCE! this is what im talking about. 

...damn, lousy everything

This is a common problem with some 7900GT (mine including) RMA it and get it replaced. You should have asked earlier and saved yourself all that trouble.DarKre
ah thanks. I guess I will RMA it now, although I can't see how that would solve the problem if the card is fine, unless they give me a step up.

I would have asked earlier, but I was kind of optimistic I may find the solution somehow and hesitant to post it because I couldn't quite describe the problem too well. This was just the last straw is all.

Wow, thats great. Thanks alot. All of them complain about the geometry stretching and I haven't heard anything about my other problems yet. Perhaps theyre not at all related, and I'm just one unlucky son of a gun?

As a matter of fact, yes. Although it could be because my PC is prime for computer heaven (it's a 3 year old machine), I've had some sound issues, and my computer will randomly disconnect from my wireless network with alarming frequency. Also, it seems to have been afflicted with some performance issues. I thought it was unusual that all these "ailments" occured so abruptly. Maybe it's just a coincidence, or is there something else at work here (let the conspiracy theories begin...).BlueBirdTS

God.... the fact that people have to go through this because of a PC is just gross. C'mon, computer's shouldnt bring so much pain and frustration to our lives! But please, don't start thinking 'bout conspiracy theories. Windows is just unstable and stops working right after a while. It's a harsh reality, but its a reality we live in.

Dude it's your graphics card. I was having a similar issue and checked the nvidia forums and there seems to be more than a few people with this problem. I had to RMA my vid card.dmaximum
What you say intrigues me. Can you point me to where it is exactly that people are complaining about this? Because looking up topics about "random dots and stretching geometry" and o ther things is a bit of a loose cannon. And what's RMA stand for?

[QUOTE="orshick"][QUOTE="ghostsniperOP"][QUOTE="orshick"]

Thanks guys, but I dont think that it's the monitor's fault. Here is my reasoning. At my regular resolution, 1280x1024, the dots are pixels. But, as the resolution goes down, the dots become circles. No longer one pixel, which is what they would be - as is my understandig - if the problem was with the monitor. Plus there are more problems, like you know, the games not being displayed properly.

dude, micrsoft is messing xp up so that we will buy vista. im getting my hacker friends on this.

And I havent mentioned this before, but I had other issues like the mouse double clicking when i only click once, randomly. sometimes it would just think I double clicked. Very frequently in the last month. Also, smaller things like getting a song to turn on in itunes just by doubleclicking on it would often take several tries, and when I select a batch of songs to play, and add to play list, not all of them would get added.

funny, you say in the last month. Becuase I know about 4 people's computer died in the past month after they updated windows.

funny, how we both replied to each other's topics at the same time.

 

Microsoft is messing up xp so that we will buy vista.

Naw dude. And even if they did, XP is plenty messed up on its own for them to actually have to make it messed up for us.

[QUOTE="orshick"]Dude, that's about when I started having my problems with my setup. Geometry being stretched, circles appearing on screen randomly, and then going away and an onslought of other nasties. Not, to disctract from your topic, but I think this is related so you can read about my problems here.ghostsniperOP

I think microsoft is doing this so people will go buy vista. Im sure more people will get problems as time goes on.

well I can hardly think that's the case, but if it were that would be very unfortunate because that would mean there is no solution to my problem.
