    The strangest thing has happend with my 9400. It has stopped outputting to the projector I use regularly. With other projectors the top of the image is sligthly distorted and flickering. It outputs to external monitors 100% fine.

    Have installed latest drivers / direct x / bios etc. I have tried various refresh rates and resolutions all to no avail.

    Why would it output to monitors 100% but have issues with these projectors? The settings I am using had been working fine with all projectors for months.

    There have been some recent windows updates but I have reinstalled the driver so I'm stumped. Tried omega drivers as well, no joy. If I send it to tell they will test it on an external monitor and say its fine. Doesn't help me though as I really need to use it on projectors.

    Has anyone come across this before??
