I wish I knew how you did that. I also have a 1900xt and I have 7.7 installed. It appears that no matter what driver I use I get those green borders on the edge of the screen.

I prefer to use NGO's optimized ati drivers, link, but they are still on 7.3. I hear they plan to release one that is based on 7.8. I know there isn't much hope, but hopefully they can fix the green lines, because I don't think ati ever will.

I have the green lines. I simply fixed it by adjusting the display. One click wider and one click taller on the display function and it is gone. But, when I take a screenshot the line is there so I simply crop it off.

If all other games work then the issue is not hardware related.

So much concearn over sun glare... sheese.

Personally my ATI card is working fine and I have no plans to fix it.

I'll admit, this whole sun glare thingy is something very minor but isn't it just a bit alarming that ATI have had the first reports about this problem about six months ago and it's still not fixed? And games like Doom 3 and Quake 4 are getting constant optimizations in these drivers. Yeah, I know. Those games have kind of bigger audience than Silent Hunter 4 but I wouldn't call it a valid excuse to leave things broken in cases like this

Besides, the reason for this amount of concearn over the sun glare is probable because it seems to be something relatively small so how can it be still broken

Definately greater! More like 10,000 to one...

Isn't it just great to know that crappy repeative pieces of crap like Doom 3 and Quake 4 are multi million sellers?
