I recently installed Win2000 on both of my computers, and both now use the latest Detonator drivers.

But I've just noticed (with all these white cubes) that this computer isn't displaying images in 24bit even though that is the current depth setting. All the cube pictures feature very heavy banding.

Has anyone else come across this problem? Know anything I could try to fix it?

Maybe it's an IE setting problem? Is it IE specific? How do things look in photoshop? I have such settings and don't have any problems.

8bit banding is quite visible...

I see the same problem in everything that I have checked so far. IE, netscape, ACDSee etc.

I found the problem, although not a solution. Seems none of the drivers I can find for this GFX card will work. They all come up with an "Error (10)" or something in the device manager so they're not starting.

Just an old computer i think..

I doubt this is the case, but if your desktop is set to 24bpp, set it to 32... could be a driver issue as you said.

Otherwise, I'm quite surprised, as I don't have such problems.

This problem happens on both w2k machines? Both run nVidia? Perhaps a defective or unreliable card manufacturer?

Load an image, screen capture it, paste it back, and see if the banding still arises with the color picker, etc. I believe photoshop reports the image RGB and not the displayed/banded RGB... try it out... perhaps a RAMDAC issue... I don't know.

Hope you get it fixed...
