Agent Smith Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Blink, have you tried to lower the refresh rate on your current monitor? You may find that is all that is required. Some older monitors really do not like being pushed above 75 hz.Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blink_182_fan Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 yeah but then ill get brain damage :P I get really bad headaches ifs its not above that becuase its about 6-7 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy99 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I dont think XP Pro will be fussy about the monitor it is displayed on....in fact, I cant think why it would be.Perhaps you old monitor has simply had it, but either way you're in for a new one I suppose!

maddogmatilda Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I've just put XP on an old DELL monitor, the picture was shaking like mad,I was told that I should have a surge protector which protected from surges and spikes, this made a slight differenceI've since increased the refresh rate to 85 and its been fine since.You could also try updating the monitors driver if you haven't already.
