Video Problem (Further Help, 1/4/05)

[Arcuivie]

I'm running two Leadtek Winfast PX6600GT TDH's in SLI mode with the latest 71.24 display drivers. Whenever I watch a video or something, I can only see it on half the screen, the upper half. It is divided directly in the middle of the monitor, everything is working fine: games, 3dmark, etc. Any idea on what could be wrong?

I uninstalled my previous drivers, disabled my antivirus and firewall, and installed the new, so I know that can't be it. Oh, and also, whenever I go to display properties or click on the nVidia symbol in my tray to change something, my display always goes out then on again. Odd.

bump, i've heard of this problem w/ a friends computer but when he changes his resolution or plays games in a different resolution

maybe there is something wrong with your media player and your vid card. disable the overlay in the media player?

I disabled overlay, didn't work.

Ok, when I disabled SLI the video worked, but I'm not going to do that every time because you have to restart when that change is made.

Did a system restore because when I uninstalled 71.24 and installed 66.93 I couldn't boot up. Reinstalled 66.93 after the restore, no more half screen even in SLI mode, yet the display still blinks off then on whenever I go into the advanced settings of my display or click the nVidia icon in my task bar.

Bumpity Bump.

All of a sudden I am able to click the nvidia icon or go into the advanced properties of my display without it blinking out for a few seconds. Whats this about? What could be causing this? I will not stop until I get the answer that I crave!


EDIT:
Gah, started again! (The cutting off of the display)
