girlofpreyToday I am installing drivers for some of my computer parts. So far, I've had to make a special effort not to let my motherboard install Google Chrome, or Norton Internet Security.
I had a look at the drivers for my monitor, and there was a section where they let you adjust and check the settings, and the part about making sure you have 'crisp, clear images' had an image for what the 'correct' display should be, which did not match what it said my display was doing. But it would not let me change it. Or give me a 'Preferred' button on the screen when it said I should definitely make sure the 'Preferred' button was selected. So there you go. But maybe things will change when I've done the graphics card, maybe that will let me do something. I did to be fair watch a trailer for a game on Steam last night, and that was really clear and beautiful and smooth, so maybe it's just the desktop that's ugly as fuck.
I'm a little concerned that when I look at my hard drives I can only see the SSD I installed, because the guy at my games shop recommended I only get a 250gb SSD, and then a 2TB hard drive as well, since the hard drive's much slower but it doesn't really matter when it just comes to installing and booting up most games. When I first turned the computer on, it had a BIOS screen that showed all of the components that were connected to the computer, and the 2TB hard drive was definitely in there. But I can't seem to see it in any of the software, or install anything to it. And I don't think 250GB is going to last me very long. I may have to go back and ask the games guy about it if I can't figure it out.
