    Hmm strange, I don't know what happaned, but everytime i play a movie or something, the video is really pixelated. I just d/l the latest omega drivers and this happens, is their any other video drivers i need or something to fix the video up? (Its not the movie its the issue)

    Probably something got altered in a codec or a option in the player has been changed.

    Just pirate higher quality movies :p J/K

    I guess from what your saying tho this happened when you updated your drivers, so I would try different drivers and make sure you follow proper instalation instructions down to a T. MOST of the time you can just "install" them but there is that small chance things go wrong like this when they are not done properly (aka computer uninstalling old drivers first, rebooting computer in safe mode, install new drivers, reboot again ect)

    Id look for driver cleaner pro while your at it, it will remove all the drivers even the hidden stuff that sometimes doesnt come out and can cause corruption.
