Question How can variable text weight on the screen be corrected ?

[Zeugitai]

Win XP. Nvidia GT 210 GPU set to match native display resolution of 1366 x 768. Refresh rate at 60 Hz. Text displays on screen with variable weight: mostly thin and sharp with a vertical band of heavier darker letters. Changing refresh rate to 59 Hz doesn't resolve it. Anyone know the solution?

Full system hardware specs? Make and model monitor?

Not sure about the problem/question.

Fonts perhaps?

I suggest that you take some screenshots showing the problem(s) and post those screenshots here via imgur (www.imgur.com).

Spec first: MPC Clientpro 365, Intel D915GRV board, P4, GeForce GT210, Samsung Syncmaster B1930 1366 x 768 native resolution.

Have you reinstalled the GPU drivers? Manually download from Nvidia's website, reinstall, and reconfigure. No third party tools or installers. Be sure that the source website is truly Nvidia - not that "Nvidia" just happens to appear in the website's pathname.

This monitor?

How old?

Does the vertical band of dark letters stay in the same physical screen area/column?

Does the same thing happen if another monitor or even a TV is used?

Does the vertical band occur if another computer or GPU is used?

The key is to narrow the list of likely culprits by swapping components, configurations, etc..
