1124040 2010-08-02 15:58:00 This is NOT a technical issue - more of a lifestyle or powerful observation on my side of the Equator here .

I was messing around with my screen resolution and positions and settings and I see a little device off to the right side of the window - ANY window so it's not just limited to looking at F1 .

With the screen normally set and filling the screen I see an odd thing . (Don't go there!)

Along side the pull-down bar on the far right side and about two inches higher than where the clock would be - there's a little display that kinda looks like a bar-code; but this one is alive and moving all the time .

It looks like the old raster or sync signals that are usually on the top or bottom of a TV screen - but this is on the side and much smaller .

It never gets taller or wider - just some sorta activity inside the bar itself .

It rises and falls inside it's own short borders and although it's kinda cute and interesting to watch (imagine doing that under LSD!) - it's kinda like the Martians are watching me - know what I mean?

FWIW: I never took LSD . I'd remember that - right?

OK - perhaps I take Vicadin now - but I swear I can see sumpthin' going on there! It's kinda waving at me!

1124043 2010-08-02 23:44:00 A screen-shot might help Joe.
It's not some sort of system activity monitor is it?

1124044 2010-08-03 01:03:00 Take a screenshot, if it doesn't show up, it's a monitor or video card problem.

In which case, take a photo, maybe we can figure it out.

Possibly because we, in NZ, are asleep around 2:30 AM except for those of us engaged in nefarious activities.

1124047 2010-08-03 01:39:00 Sounds a bit like a gadget of some sort -- Not This is it ? (gallery.live.com) or Even this (gallery.live.com) -- try right clicking on it, see if it gives the option to close. wainuitech (129)

No - it's a very narrow 3/32" wide and about 3/4" high (I don't know what that is in sillymeters) vertical band that has a 'something' that looks like a VU meter activity device . But I don't have one there - I run a gadget or two, but there's nothing active in that area behind the front screen .



Take a screenshot, if it doesn't show up, it's a monitor or video card problem .

In which case, take a photo, maybe we can figure it out .

It won't screenshot at all - I don't think Windows sees it as an active part of the view .


you been playing with ketamine?? :lol:

I don't know - I got beta carotene, sodium mono-nitrate and trisodium phosphate - is that the same?


Sounds a bit like a gadget of some sort -- Not This is it ? ( . live . com/liveItemDetail . aspx?li=d3df402c-e1f0-4fbb-8a73-bafa8f252abe&bt=1&pl=1" target="_blank">gallery . live . com) or Even this ( . live . com/liveItemDetail . aspx?li=d231a8d7-8487-4348-8cba-ea670fb1dbe5&bt=1&pl=1" target="_blank">gallery . live . com) -- try right clicking on it, see if it gives the option to close .

Those aren't it at all - but nice try anyway .

It won't allow clicks either . It doesn't appear to be something that Bill wants me to see .


And just how much of that medicinal herb have you been smokin' for your glaucoma Joe ??

Got the munchies? Nope - just Vicadin and Tramadol - they won't let me have Elavil any more . When I had that prescribed I got to know the color of the little people who live in the wallpaper .

7 out of 8 voices in my head tell me that I shouldn't mess with the little bar-thing in the off-the-right-side of my screen ----- but the other half of the voices tell me I need to know more .
