quick question myth2 1.6

[mcchaz0]

umm, this patch..didnt happen to install anything outside of myth2 or anything that would affect my video..did it? after restarting my comp later the day of installing my video keeps scrambling for some reason :\ cant figure out what it is

hmmm..well i uninstalled the omega drivers i was using..i never even had updated them when this problem started...

alienware dosnt support this model laptop anymore and so i cant download the correct official drivers so i always depended on omega

anyways i found different tweaked drivers, NGO, and the problem seems to be gone for now..i hope.. ::goes to restart computer once more::

sighs..wtf would cause mass video scrambling...dont tell me the video card went bad..

A Myth update doesn't change anything on your system outside of its own folder.

hmmm well i formatted my computer and installed the video drivers..same problem again... i got pissed and shook it for about 20 seconds and the comp died..i was like fuck..then sat it back down and it started back up as if it was in standby or something...it looks to be fixed now? im afraid to restart the computer...

My guess is a faulty LCD or a loose plug somewhere. Shaking the comp while it's running can damage the hard drive by slamming the needle against the heads.
