Graphics Problem?

Hi, I need some help with my computer.

My current graphics card is nVidia Geforce 7350 LE which came with th
computer that I got not too long ago. I have Windows Vista Home Premiu
(32-bit), 2GB of RAM, 2.40GHz. So.. everything should be compatible a
it was working before..

I don't know what exactly happened, but I left my computer o
over-night, checked in the morning and realized that my Windows Vist
Premium theme changed to Win Vista Basic theme. Then I checked Window
Experience Index to check my base score.. and the result was 1. Th
Graphics: windows aero and Gaming Graphics dropped from 4+ to 1 all i
one night, but other categories were ok. My 3D screen saver is no
getting an error "The screensaver can't run because it requires a newe
video card or one that's compatible with Direct3D". And I can't play an
games either because of this graphics issue

I looked for solutions in yahoo answers and already tried to reinstal
the latest drive from the nVidia official website, reinstalled DirectX9
rebooted my computer, and scanned for any spyware with Norton Interne
Security 08. My last solution might be to recover from the Recover
Drive or send it for repairs... but I'm going to lose som
files/documents that are important. Not hoping to have to do this.

Another problem is that I'm randomly losing disk space in C: Drive..
had over 270GB of free space just few days ago, but the C: Drive ha
only 188GB and I think it is still decreasing.. I'm not downloadin
anything.. Does this have to do anything with the graphics problem? O
maybe... the hard drive has the problem that effected the g. card
Sorry, not too good with technolog

I tried the GPU-Z utility and it said that I have the lastest version
Here are 2 screenshots:

this is a support msg for Transparkn who apparently hasn't got a response. I
have the same screensaver problem ie "The screensaver can't run because it
requires a newer video card or one that's compatible with Direct3D"" message
but haven't been able to find a reply thaT fits.
I have uninstalled and updated nvidia driver (Nvidia 6100 N405) without
change. Some sites suggest a wireless mouse interference & rec a 'HID
Non-user data input filter' download fix but I don't have a wireless mouise
one although I have a wireless modem for home network.
Anyway I can't connect to download that 'update' presumably because the site
can't detect any wireless prob needing it. Wd be grateful for advice. M

I have a similar issue with an ATI RADEON X1550. AERO score dropped from 4.5
to 2.9. They must have raised the bar on AERO or hosed the test somehow.

Regarding the part about randomly losing disk space in C: Drive

Vista will use up to 15% of your hard disk for system restore. Until you
reach that limit your available space on your hard drive will keep going
down.

Aero is a performance hog. Shut it off and get back some of the
performance Vista steals.

BS.
Get a real PC.

A Geforce 6800 gets a 4.8 ... so it doesn't have to be the top of the line,
just better than a $50 card from WallyMart.

I have a real PC. The impact of Aero on video display speed is
significant. Do some non-subjective testing and get back to me.

PS. How are people with laptops going to stuff that 6800 in there?

You aren't.
The point was...a 6800 is an old card...not bleeding edge...that runs games
with a P.I. of 4.8 and an Aero index of 5.9.

Aero puts no performance drag on my PC.

My sons laptop with a 8500 runs Vista aero just fine ( he's an online
gamer).

Your just a whiney little bitch that likes to complain.

It's every post of yours.
