Ok,

My problem is that Im getting these blue lines running across my monitor, they flicker and they look just like those system lines you see on steroes showing like the bass levels and such when a song is playing...but they are running horizontal across my monitor like little mountains.

The problem comes and goes but it has been staying all messed up longer and long since it started a week ago or so.

What Ive done thus far:

new display drivers are installed.



I have a Toshiba SATELLITE here is my dx file.

Alan <>< Try resetting the resolution and refresh rate.

Since you have a laptop; did you drop it?is the problem with youre LCD screen on the laptop or is it a second montior that is conected to the laptop?
Ive never dropped it, no, its gotten banged around in its case sliding off my seat like twice, but that was negligable...

how would i reset the refresh rate?

and yes it is with with LCD not an external monitor....

question: can toshibas hook up to external monitors? i see PEOPLE at work with dells with a set up to use an external monitor...Yes. You must have a VGA connector on the back side of the computer. Then you need to configure it in Display Properties.
