Black Moniter Lines
« on: October 02, 2004, 07:47:04 PM »
Hi, my name is mike, i'm new to the site.  Well i had something happen to me today, and its really werid.  I was playing a game on the internet (quake) and before i was playing it was fine.  But when i got off there appeared to be small black lines that go across the screen on a white background.  For example, if i go into Microsoft word, and type a document, the screen looks fine.  But when i type something... a black line goes across the screen and gets darker with each key pressed.  The more you type, the darker it gets, and the bar is only as high as the text.  I've taken my video card out and cleaned it. and messed with the video card refresh rate, i dont know what it is.  Also, like on aol, the bright yellows and greens are so bright, that it hurts ur eyes to look at them.  If someone could help me it would be great.  I even tried going back a week with quick restore.  Thanks

Mike

Have you tested your monitor on another computer?

If i was would i would just perform a system check in case you havent picked up something whilst playing Quake 2
could be a virus that is tweaking your settings or spyware
