Well, TNT is much more older that the other too. Is that LCD widescreen ? Older cards doesn't work very good with widescreen resolution, so I suspect that's the main problem. But it could be just a bad card (as I said, TNT is quite old, so the chance of bad capacitors and other failed components is increased)

Canopus Spectra...nice card. Could you take a screenshot of how the LCD looks like, maybe we could figure if it's the GPU, the memory, RAMDAC or something else.

I plugged the Spectra back in and the widescreen'ing only occured until Windows launched.  Windows is ok now at 1280x1024 @ 32bit.  However, the screen is still greyed out.  I don't want to mess with my physical monitor controls as the monitor is KVM'd for 3 soon to be 4 PCs.  All the other PCs have the same look, white is the same white on all screens except this one.  I try to play with the software tools in Display Properties/Canopus tab but it makes the screen appear washed out when I tune up the brightness/contrast/gamma enough to make the screen like the norm.  

Here are some pics:

Spectra BIOS POST:


BIOS Shot showing widescreening before Windows is loaded:


Comparison shot:
Cards: 7300 on the left, 8800GT in the centre, Spectra 2500 on the right.
Monitors: the left and right monitors are identical - Analog Dell 19" FP196
Centre is a Digital Dell 19" FP1907
All screens are at default colouring (gamma/brightness/contrast)



I KVM'd back the right monitor to the 2nd out of my 7300:



/EDIT - I just updated the BIOS from 1.03.01 to 1.06.05
Even though the PURE3D is connected, I have it Witchdoctored so the 2D is coming straight from the Spectra to the monitor for best quality.  Still no luck though.

I now realize that when I try to change the monitor driver, as soon as I press ok, to make the change the computer locks up and I have to press the reset button on the computer case  and the "default monitor" is set up again.

Update: I found and updated the BIOS to 1.08.01.  I also have driver version 4.12.01 installed.  Still no change.

@ OutOfRange - do you have a copy of the original driver disc?  I am looking for more than just the drivers.  The original disc has some other apps and the witchdoctor drivers.

Here it is  http://www.outofrange.ch/temp/CanopusSpectra.zip

The package (~43 MB) contains the whole content of the Disc and I also made a complete scan of the manual  there you can find some additional informations about the installation and Witchdoctor too 

You're welcome

I wonder how good the manual looks after the scan, cause on the screen before I converted it to an PDF it was a little blurry 

Do you have any improvements with these drivers ? Hope so
