your screen is failing. since the machine is probably out of warrantee, it isn't worth fixing. if it isn't get it fixed now. if it was still under warrantee when it started happening and isn't now, it's too late.

I have a Dell Inspiron 4000, running Me, almost 3 years old. For about a year now I have had frequent, but not constant, problems with the screen. Almost all the time, on photographs there are large arcs of darker blue across already blue areas eg. sky or sea and there are horrid green "rashes" consisting of areas of short line on other parts of the picture, particularly flesh. In other programs, the basic grey blue of the background round menus etc. becomes pale pink, words in black become maroon and some words (on internet sites in particular) in blue break up. Sometimes the screen becomes all flickering lines but not often. Any ideas - please xxx
