BenQ FP241W flicker problem + ATI
[update] If your monitor version is older to March 2007 then forget this solution. Ask Benq to replace your monitor I found out that many people are experiencing this blackout problem when using the BenQ FP241W and the DVI connection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Y8CMC5_qI The complexity of the problem arises because of the unpredictable behaviour of the many elements that are involved in the situation: graphics card, drivers, cables, monitor firmware, driver settings etc. Here I will try to outline a “method” that worked for me,.. relatively ok. 1.

Run Nokia Map Loader 3. Select the maps that you want and start downloading. 4. go back to the file manager and locate a folder named "download_temp". It only appears when downloading and if the installation fails then Nokia Map Loader deletes it. 5. So, before downloading finishes make the "download_temp" folder read-only. 6.Once Maploader [...]
