since the video driver is in the computer, i can't see it being the problem, because i changed computers. but this older computer is having far less problems, in that the screen is staying clear 99% of the time, while the newer computer it came with was having problems 50% of the time.....
so in your theory, both computers would have to have a bad video driver......i am going to reboot the original computer and try it again and see how that effects this monitor. i don't want to throw this monitor away if possible, because it is a nice/big one for east reading.
