+streakeagle Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I have seen other people on various forums posting similar problems and never thought much of it... But all of a sudden today, I lost the ability to force anti-aliasing at 1600x1200. If I knock the resolution down to 1280x960 or 1400x1050, everything works normally. I did not change my driver or its settings (though I have done a bunch of that today trying to find the problem). Anybody have any clue as to how or why this would suddenly happen? I am thinking it has to be related to a Windows update, like directX or something like that. But I am at a loss as to what to try/test next.
+streakeagle Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 Well, after I exhausted every other path, I resorted to a System Restore. I went back far enough to circumvent a few new software installs and DirectX updates. After system restore, I had to re-install the video driver... then I got my anti-aliasing back at 1600x1200. I am not sure whether it was a Windows Update, a DirectX update, or some software I installed to support a remote controlled wireless R2D2 webcam... But I got it working right again, so I am happy.
+JediMaster Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 It was probably a screw up in the video driver. I've had similar (but not exactly) things happen in the past.
