Hi -

I'm on Windows XP Pro SP1 with an ATI Radeon 7000 video card and am having
some problems. About once a week while I'm working my screen with get
blurry or fuzzy to where I can barely read anyting on the screen anymore.
The only way to get the screen back to normal is to reboot my computer.
Once I reboot it the screen will be fine until this happens again. As I
said earlier, this happens about once a week, but sometimes it won't happen
for several weeks, while other times it may happen 2 or 3 times in the same
week. I have updated my display card drivers to the latest I could find but
that didn't seem to help. Has anyone experienced an issue like this before
or have any ideas to correct the problem? Does it sound like only a video
card driver problem?

Thanks for any help,
Jeff
