1. If PCI video card, be sure it's properly seated.
2. Check and adjust display settings in Control Panel.
3. Check Mfg. site for updated video driver.
My monitor has shadows (grey lines) running across the screen that has any icons, text, etc. on the screen. If I open a blank Word document it is fine, until I start typing, then the grey lines appear on any of the lines that has text typed on it.
I hooked my monitor up to another computer and the monitor is fine. It seems like it's something in my CPU. I am running ME................any help is appreciated.
