QUOTE(David83 @ Aug 15 2007, 07:56 AM) tslim2531, your LCD problem looks serious. Send those pictures to Dell Tech Support and ask them if it's normal. from the pictures, in my opinion, leakage is not tat too serious. the 1st 2 pictures show seem like is not LCD problem. its might be video card or driver issue. If you suspect that is hardware failure, then any error code/msg from Dell 32bits Diagnostic test?

QUOTE have anyone check the graphic card core clock or mem clock of the graphic card? i using everest to check but it shows some weird stat the game perfomance also not good To see the most accurate core & mem clock download the n-tune software from nvidia site. Of courselah game performanece not so good because graphics card for laptops are usually downclocked or stripped some of the features that are available in their desktop counterparts. If you want to improve the perfomance of you laptop's graphics card you can try overclock it but you might void your warranty if something happens to your laptop during the process.

I think the game might not be supported under Vista. Here's a way, right click on the .exe file that runs Fifa and select "Properties". Go to the "Compatibility" tab and select to run the program under Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode. I've done this a few times on some older games and programs, they all worked.

I think you'll be enjoying the improvement only if the access point is running in Wireless 802.11n mode. Otherwise, you won't gain anything.

Open a blank notepad , maximize it.If you see the white isn't white more like grey and dots which means you have a grainy screen. It's more simple if you have an LCD monitor to compare.
