| 769736 | 2009-04-30 08:42:00 | This was a silly thing to do, but it was an old computer. I now get a slightly shaky shimmering picture. It used to be OK. Have I damaged the computer? The monitor is OK, have tested it on my laptop. Am annoyed with myself.:crying Thanks |

Have tried several times to press the plug in firmly. This doesn't help! It is not connected to the internet, so can't upgrade drivers, but I believe the drivers are OK, because the computer used to display clearly. |

| 769739 | 2009-04-30 09:01:00 | Does it happen in safe mode too? | Blam (54) | ||
| 769740 | 2009-04-30 09:16:00 | Could be the refresh rate on the ME causing the monitor to "shimmy" Have a look Here on how to change it (www.computerhope.com) - just check its not set to high, and lower it if its up a bit, try 60 if its not already set to that. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 769741 | 2009-04-30 09:22:00 | Does it happen in safe mode too? Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. No - the problem does not occur in safe mode |

| 769742 | 2009-04-30 09:25:00 | Not a hardware problem then. Try turning down hardware acceleration and the refresh rate as WT mentioned | Blam (54) | ||
| 769743 | 2009-04-30 09:35:00 | Have tried lowering the acceleration. This doesn't help The refresh rate is set at optimal in settings, and when the computer starts a message comes on the screen saying it is 60Khz. |

| 769744 | 2009-04-30 09:45:00 | Am pleased it is not the hardware. This means I may still get good results on my old Philips CRT monitor, but I don't want to try this out yet, as it means rearranging the furniture. |

| 769745 | 2009-04-30 09:50:00 | Try going into device manager>right click vide adapter>uninstall>reboot. Should reinstall video driver on reboot, if it doesn't work boot into safe mode which will use the default VGA.sys driver then install the latest version from the manufacturers website Blam |
