Oh I agree completely NEC use to be a good brand and I have old 9" NEC MultiSync 2A hooked up to my server that's still going strong. That was the reason I went with them when I originally bought them and I had reviewed them and hadn't seen any complaints it was all up and up, great product, etc. That's why I was so disappointed when these ones died so quickly and then they just kept sending me more broken monitors.
I don't know what their LCD's are like but their CRT department has defiantly gone down hill. Most likely with the growing market for LCD's and the shrinking market for CRT's they just don't put the effort into them like they use to. After going though 4 pairs of monitors in a row and still ending up with nothing more then a pair boat anchors however, they earned themselves a place on my black list.
But enough of my high jacking of the thread to rant about NEC.
To Aleph, after re-reading your posts I'm thinking it's more likely a graphics card/driver issue. So the next step would be to do as Foodstamp suggested and reinstall the graphics drivers.
Some General Questions:
- What operating system are you running?
- What kind of graphics card do you have?
- Are you running any kind of so called "graphics optimizing" software provided by the manufacture or a third party?
- Are you running Dominions and NWN in the same resolution?
- Are you running your desktop in a different resolution then Dominions and NWN?
- Approximately how long were you playing Dominions/NWN before it happened?
- In both Dominions and NWN was it only the text that was affected and everything else was fine?
- Did you have to exit Dominions and NWN for it to go away or were you able to just alt-tab?
That's all I can think of off the top of my head right now.
