Anybody know what might make a program display like this?

Trying to figure out what's causing things to display oddly for a client of mine.

The cameras record to a TiVo like box in a cabinet and can be viewed over the network via the software.

Here are a couple screenshots of the remote viewing utility.

Every other machine

One thing to note, there is another utility that allows you to view "events" (10 or so seconds where the camera caught movement). When viewing these (a single camera view), the picture is just fine.

Everything worked for months and only recently did this issue crop up.

Both machines are running Windows 98. The problem machine is a P-200, barebones 98 install with an ATI Xpert 128 video card. It doesn't run any other software.

Tried swapping out the NIC, no go.

As a -very- short-term fix, I opened a remote desktop window from the problem machine to another machine that can view the pictures. Can see everything fine through that (even on the problem machine)

Will try to go down to their network "closet" today and see if I can do anything down there. Was thinking it could be some interference in the cable running to the problem machine or some nonsense?

Anyway, figured I'd post here just in case the pics ring any bells. Thanks.
 
Some setting got changed. The distorted image is clean video being displayed at the wrong resolution/timing, similar to what you might see when you display an NTSC signal on a PAL display or a non-supported resolution on a non-PnP monitor. Reference the settings on a working machine aganst the non-working machine. Good luck!

edit: messing around remotely from here. Unchecked the "automatically detect plug and play monitor". Video's fine now. You rule 😉
