AMD cpu Rendering Errors

[emjem]

My AMD TBird based system does not properly render some gif graphics on some web pages.

I have found this problem on 3 different AMD systems that I had access to. And I have seen the same gif files correctly rendered on 5 different Intel based systems. All 8 of the systems I checked were running WindowsME and Internet Explorer 5.5.

I have enough evidence to think that maybe AMD TBirds (at least) are not completely compatible with Internet Explorer 5.5.

I'm now wondering 1) if all AMD systems have this rendering error, and/or 2) if it's a combination AMD/IExplorer 5.5 wedding problem, or 3) just what the heck is going on with this.

I would appreciate y'alls comments on this. You can go HERE to see some screen shots and to test your own system.

ewwwwwww.. horrible page, get rid of that horrible horrible blue text


anyway, this has nothing to do with amd, it has to do with browsers
works fine for me on my amd... using ie6.0

 

[LostHiWay]

Works for me on my T-Bird & IE6. You have a browser problem

 

[xtreme2k]

My athlon XP

- IE6 WinXP - error
- Mozilla 0.99 - ok

 

[emjem]

Thanks for your input.

Maybe it will turn out to be a browser problem, but so far it's an AMD generated browser problem.

 

[emjem]

<< IE6 WinXP - error >>



Oh, oh. Jeez I didn't want to see that with the XP

 

[BadThad]

Funny thing...if emjem saves the gifs/html to file and then opens the page from the local drives they render correctly! Figure out that one.

 

[MistaTastyCakes]

Works for me and my 1.4ghz T-bird on all broswers I've tried. It's your computer.

 

[Mem]

No problems here with it on my XP 1700+ and WinXP Pro.

 

[Priit]

Looked OK on old 1Ghz T-bird & Mozilla 0.97. I vote for IE's error (and seeing that page was made with FrontPage I wouldn't be surprised when it looks weird anyway)

 

[emjem]

I ran the test on the site you referred me to Geared. I have no problem with jpg images. Never have noticed any either. And that site said that the gif format was not affected.

I'm totally surprised that your Intel product has the problem. Now I'm really getting bumfuzzled because I had it in my mind as an AMD/IE problem.

 

[inqztive]

Interesting issue.

 

[BadThad]

(and seeing that page was made with FrontPage I wouldn't be surprised when it looks weird anyway)

AHAHAHAHAHA

Well, the code is PURE HTML. I didn't use ANY of the front page extentions so it's NOT Front Page.

P4 1.6A
Asus P4B266-C
GF 4
XP Pro (IE 6)

I get the error

 

[emjem]

Heh, heh, Geared, BrunoPuntzJones has it with WinXP and IE 6 -- as does someone else.
This is getting weird man, now a P4 has the problem. WinME, WinXP, IE 5, IE 6, AMD, Intel. Holy chit!

I used the 2 gifs and put up this page (using FP) which displays correctly in IE on my system. Please take a look Geared and see if it looks right on your system.

Badthad used frames on his page so I'm wondering now if that is a piece of the puzzle.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

That link looks fine emjem

 

[emjem]

OK, looks like it MAY have something to do with frame rendering, for whatever that's worth, lol.

Maybe someone can shed some light on how or why or ..........................................................!

Those don't line up on my Dell 1ghz Pentium 3/Windows 98SE/Mozilla 9.9

but...

It does work on the same system in IE6

amish

 

[emjem]

Man, amish, you've just added some more weird clues. This is starting to blow my mind.

Anybody see a pattern of any kind in this mess?

 

[MrGrim]

P4 i850 and Win2K

With IE (the one that comes with Win2K) they don't align.
With Opera 6.02 they do.

 

[Viper GTS]

No alignment problems here (P3/W98SE/IE6.0.26).

If I think about it I'll try it in a few hours on my dual 1800+ system.

[Slapstick]

No problems with TB 1.4 on a ECS K7s5a using AWI Radeon and a P3 933 on an MSI 6337 using a Radeon LE. Both PC?s are running W2K, IE 6, and share the same monitor using a KVM. I can?t tell a difference between the 2 images.

 

[GoSharks]

i have the same problem, but i think i know whats up... by chance r u running large fonts? i know i am, and similar misalginment show up quite often.

dual p3 1ghz, win2k sp2, ie6

 

[Mem]

I know how to fix it if you get the problem,hold ctrl key down and use scroll wheel on the mouse,this will make it go in and out of alignment as it changes .

Bingo, threw me for a second there too.

My dual 1800+'s initially displayed them misaligned.

Using the scroll wheel + ctrl I can make it move from side to side.

The problem is with the page, not the CPU you're running.
