Hmmm.. tricky one Max. I cant think of any setting which could have messed
it all up the the extent your experiencing.

Give me a slap if Im stating the bleeding obvoius.. but its best to check..
do you have the very latest drivers installed for the card and the latest
patch installed for photoshop ?

Another thing you might want to try is going into the advanced graphics
section within the system settings in control panel and switch off all
hardware acceleration to see if that cures the problem.

Another thing is windows may still have remenents of the old video card
settings in there somewhere.
When you installed the card did you first tell windows you had a standard
VGA card, then powered down/ up, then powered down and inserted the new card
?.... very long winded and Im not sure it really helps but basically you
have to try and tell windows it no longer has a voodoo card before you put
the new card in.
errm... You could also go into control panel, system, device manager and see
if the old Voodoo card device appears in the display adapters list. If it is
still there you may want to either disable it or remove it.

errm.. other than that.. nothing else springs to mind as yet... I hate
changing hardware.. I hope you get the problem sorted real soon.

Let us know when you do find out the solution.. it may come in handy in the
future.
