Yes, all updates have been applied from MS, as well the system is running XP w/SP2. All drivers for the videocard and monitor are most current available. The monitor is fine, other than this pixel wide red vertical line extending from the top to the bottom about 1/16" from the left edge of the viewing area. When I originally installed this monitor on her pc when new, it was there. I searched the net and found a fix, after a couple hours of looking. It was a simple click or 2 and it was done. I'm thinking but could be completely wrong that it was in the accessibility settings. Of course I've been through them and the accessibility options in the control panel. Nothing has tweaked my memory and nothing that I've changed has fixed it. I do remember saying to myself, what has this got to do with video in any manner when I did what fixed it last time. It wasn't something you'd associate right off with video. But it did work. It was just turning off or on something I think. Sure wish I could find that piece of paper I wrote it down on a couple years ago... and being a MCSE and the family 'nerd', the wife is getting more and more impatient with me. Anyway, to anyone considering the problem....all drivers are current, MS downloads are current, all hardware is working properly, no issues what so ever with the machine (2G, 512mb RAM, 64MB video, etc) it's just that little red line getting me headed towards the dog house with the wife and it's not even my fault!!!! Thanks for any and all replies... Dave
