    Hello,
    I upgraded to Windows 7 recently (Dual booting with WinXP) and after installing Win7 I dled the new firmware for my Vcard (8800GT AD edition, XFX) from Nvidia, installed it and played my videos. My videos come out all jagged, I tried Zoom Player, VLC, WMP, Gimp etc. and they always come out jagged. However my PCs other factors are crystal clear(Startbar, folders, firefox etc.) I downloaded the drivers from XFX for Win7 Pro 64bit from the XFX website 191.07_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_international_whql
    and installed it, however I still get the jaggedness. When i load up the videos and play them on XP they work perfectly fine..
    Can anyone help me solve this problem?

    as the problem only shows on win7 not xp then it is a driver issue.

    Yah, I opened a support ticket with XFX, however the driver I installed was supposed to be for the 8800GT AD XFX Vcard for the Windows 7 64 bit, so sounds like its perfect for my Vcard..

    The problem is probably because of those outdated drivers you are running. Goto nVidia.com for nVidia drivers!

    The driver i installed was directly from XFX and it was the newest driver from Nvidia for the 8 series for win7 64 bit. The problem is not an outdated driver.
