    I have an Acer 5672 WMLI with the Mobility X1600 video chip. I noticed I was getting "lines" in my screen, so I tried the latest drivers from the Acer Site, no difference. I have tried the latest ATI Mobility driver, the X1600 with the Mobility Mod, Omega, Still no luck.

    I have reformatted with Windows XP Pro and Vista Business and still have the same issue with both operating systems. If I run only a standard VGA Driver I can get 1024X768, but need to be able to add a 2nd monitor for the DJ work I use it for.

    Really need some help on this one.

    Thanks
