    Vertical red lines
    « on: October 28, 2007, 09:56:57 PM »
    I have an older Presario, still (and happily) running Win-98. Recently vertical red lines can obscure photos, and sometimes illustrations, on the web and often in my offline picture files. Not all photos are obscured, and the vertical red lines don't run through text, etc. This is not a monitor issue... cause it was present on my old monitor and now on my new flat screen, and is not in the same position -- but where ever the photo appears. Anyone know what I'm missing here? THANKS

    Did you update your video drivers?

    This is the first thing I would try.  It's also possible that you could need a new video card.  Does this problem also happen in Safe Mode?

    Sounds like "the photo" is the culprit here...since it doesn't happen in all photos...
