See if the problem persists. That will help narrow down where the problem lies. If the problem does NOT perisist, then give us the make and model of your original monitor. -------------------- ALBERT FRANKENSTEIN I'M SO SMART IT'S SCARY!

Member No.: 74,928	I know it's not the monitor bcuz the orig. monitor I had on my computer works fine and after I bought a new one (wanted a bigger lcd screen) last year the problem is still there, could it be the video card? the computer I built my dad is a 3000+ AMD Athlon, can I try to see if his video card can work on mine and see if thats the problem?
