| 355261 | 2005-05-15 05:01:00 | Hi, Gurus. It is definitely not screen flicker; it is a (relatively) high frequency sideways wobble with which my 4 years-old monitor suddenly became afflicted on my bringing it alive after a brief screensave; my eyes are beginning to match it. Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause and, more importantly, what I might try to fix the problem? Thanks. |

No magnetic field has been introduced into the house, let alone somewhere near my computer . And remember, there was no problem before I left the computer to have lunch . I have also hooked the monitor into another computer, using a different data cable, but the problem persisted . Thanks again . |
