-pops- Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Any possibility of trying a different monitor?The problem may be due to your graphics card. Are the drivers properly installed? Again, any chance of trying a different card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the drivers properly installed? Again, any chance of trying a different card?I changed my monitor 740B into very similar 740N and 740N does not display them shiny things any more. But 740B on the diferent pc still displays it. (The strange thing is that 740B working with the diferent pc displays them shiny things exactly in the same position where it was on my pc) I am using the same resolution on both monitors 1280x1024 32bit.The other thing is that Print Screen funcion, does not show shiny parts in the image than i paste in to paint.

-pops- Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 It is almost certain that there is a fault with the monitor then. This is even more apparent by the fault not showing on PrtScn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Your monitor is faulty. If it is new, return it for a warrenty. If it is old, it's a good excuse to get a new flat screen. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thos Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Do you have your speakers close to the monitor?. The magnets can affect it.Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Do you have your speakers close to the monitor?. The magnets can affect it.Thos.Good point, but if they were meant for use with a computer, they should be shielded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 So perhaps we should all shift our icons now and then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thos Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 My wife is always saying to me "Don't just sit there doing the crossword, shift your icons"(I think that's what she says!!!!)Thos. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
