Screens Jumping
« on: June 28, 2006, 06:27:35 PM »
Startup was normal this morning and later in the day all my screens (internet, email (OE), Works, even msconfig files -everything with words I think) started "jumping" (I get motion sick even looking at
the computer.  I'm typing on a laptop.  It's like the vertical hold needs adjusting but I don't think the computer HAS a vertical hold does it?  (I am semi-computer illiterate).  
I am up to date with Norton Antivirus - ran a scan and it's fine.   Pestcontrol doesn't find any
spyware or hijackers either.
Anyone have any solutions here??  I want my computer back!

What are the specifics on the machine and how old is it? If it is still under warranty I would contact the manufacturer. There are very few user servicable aspects to a laptop. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the video drivers, but that's about it. It sounds hardware related.

My laptop is fine.  It's my PC (Insignia) and of course it's out of
warranty.  I thought video driver too but was hoping something
simple might fix it.  Computer is only a couple of years old though.

Since it is a desktop you should then try another monitor on that machine and try that monitor on another machine to isolate where the problem is.
