Eh? I'm changing the thread to something more appropriate. If you have an actual personal question for me, those go in private messages. I think you'll get better response with the thread I'm giving you

Anyway...

My first guess would be either 1) there's something wrong with the cable connecting your computer to your monitor, 2) there's some weird power-surge that's messing with your monitor, 3) your monitor's dying, get a new one or 4) something is wrong with your video card.

well, it might be the cable, but i have checked and it is all good. so its either a severe power surge or--- see it just did it again.

or it might be the connections outside. severe wind is here/was here/is coming so it might be the sattelite receiver thingy fighting the wind.

on the other hand, the whole system is older than the hills.....
(slight exaggeration there )

so i might get a laptop or something......... anyway.... the mouse is being a dough nut and it is NOT the little ball because i checked and it's fine. hmmm........ oh well.

I know what it is now:

wind, plus the fact that the monitor is OLD. we might be getting a new computer and my uncle's laptop.
