My screen is pixelated!

One of my buddies downloaded the iLife torrent a while back. I don't know if this is a result. I have already reinstalled the operating system and checked to see if the iWorkServices daemon was still there. It was not.


When I turn my "Colors" to "Thousands" rather than "Millions", it seems to get slightly better. Any advice?


Thanks a lot.

I love your tabs.

"How to detect... (the trojan)"

"How to get rid of... (the trojan)"

"...beware..."

"...infects at least..."

This has nothing to do with your piracy.
 
i wish i could give you info...

but your bold mis spelling of pixelated on the forum spy really makes me forget what i was going to say! 🙂

i'd probably go ahead and call apple. unless there is some super virus no one is aware of - and you are the first recipient... i don't think a downloaded file on your mac would cause your hardware to malfunction...

It's weird how the pixelation it's only being applied to the GUI features (MenuBar, window, and Dock), the background seems perfectly normal.

I've had the experience as well. It must have something to do with how OS X handles the drawing of screen elements. I just couldn't get an old 9800 Pro working again.
 
Thanks for all the replies, everyone.

Is it possible to replace the VideoCard?

Haha thanks for embarrassing me

Fix'd

P.S. Your bold misspelling of "misspelling" really made me laugh🙂
 
Yes, but it's soldered to the logic board (unless you have a Mac Pro), so the entire board will need to be replaced.

Run the Apple Hardware Test. Put in the DVD that came with your computer and hold down the D key on startup.

😀 I have to agree!! I thought about "getting" iLIFE as well but I decided that sine I dont use the apps (GB, iMOVIE, etc.) that much it would have been a waste to get them.....then I heard about the bug.......WOW was I lucky not to get in the ban-wagon!
