Hello, and Welcome to D-A-L.

Have you tried the monitor on another system/display adapter to eliminate/prove it's the monitor vs the display adapter?

If your monitor has a degausse feature, use this first.

I'll attach a nice little program (214 KB) I picked up from somewhere which assists in the proper setup of monitors.

Try it and post your results or any further questions/information.

thank you for reply,i have degaussed it ,and checked with other progs etc .lines move with print,i,m convinced its graphic card.am buying one on e bay at moment,i'll see how that goes

OK, keep us posted with further results/questions etc. I'll keep the thread open until you attain a "resolution". (Heh, no pun intended. Well maybe.....)

hi problem solved, it was the graphics card.replaced with same spec with cheap one from e bay.many thanks
