Screen getting harder to read...AERO settings aren't working
I'm not well enough inform with computer tech to know the proper terms, so forgive my ignorance as I try to describe my problem. Thanks in advance...
I only use this computer for personal and reference, not for gaming. I just need to be able to read the screen, so there is probably a lot to this machine I don't need. But it just started this weird fluttering onscreen...like it is trying to adjust itself but never gets to that point. It leaves me looking at trails of shadows after everything (words, picks stc.) on screen. Windows Fix-it says it has something to do with the AERO settings and that my graphics card does not support it. I have had this computer for almost 5 years and I did not change any settings before this happened. It started after having my computer in sleep mode for overnight and it starts up after having the computer on for a couple of minutes.
Also, I probably need to learn more about updating drivers, as I don't know if I do it correctly or if I am re-updating same driver twice.
Thanks for helping a little ol lady, with a computer that's a lot bigger than her.
