17935	2001-09-01 03:12:00	I am finding that my monitor goes fuzzy after it is turned on for a while and it gets worse the longer it is left on. I note another comment about moving speakers and as I have recently got speakers and have them next to monitor I will move them and see if this helps. It has been suggested that I 'degauss' the monitor - it is an older model - how do I do this, and where do I find the monitor control panel?. Any help greatly appreciated.	Guest (0)

If it's an analogue monitor, ie. it has a row of control knobs, then there wont be a separate de-gauss control. If it's a digital monitor, ie. has a row of buttons behind a drop down panel, or an onscreen display then there may well be a de-gauus control. Unfortunately thats by the way as de-gaussing wont change focus appreciably, it's for removing unwanted magnetism that can affect colour and convergence. The only real answer is to upgrade to a better monitor, after all it's the most important item of a computer system. Cheers	Guest (0)
