I still have a grainy screen, I tried changing the settings to high and
tried 16 or 32 but still is no better. I noticed the lever thing is all the
way on "less" like 800 x 600 pixels, I tried changing the screen resolution
but did not look better. I tried getting it to find updated driver but I
dont think it really knew what kind of monitor it has. This monitor is
almost eight years old.. maybe I should try going to a restore point I made
and see fif that fixes it.
