red line visible near vista gadget??

since few days i have been seeing a straight line visible near the gadget column..
and whn i open explorer or internet explorer, tht line is visible,

does anyone have solution to gt rid of the line??

attaching a picturee...

Sorry, raahil69, but I can't see anything untoward because your picture isn't clear enough.

here it is

The image is clearer, but I'm sorry I still can't see it. Can you indicate exactly where it is, and perhaps use a different desktop background to help it show up better?

i just took the shot with camera, there is line on the display??

is it because or ram or graphic cards??
do i have to get it replaced??

check once more, uploaded new picture.

Ahh, now I see it. Does it disappear when you close the sidebar? I'm wondering, since there was no evidence of a line like that in the previous image, whether it is a defect in your monitor.

Try installing and running the following (it's a 30 day evaluation version), but it should help to narrow down the problem. PassMark MonitorTest - Test monitors and LCD flat panel screens

Do you notice any defects in any of the tests?

it has been been 3/4 days since im seeing this line...
i have closed the side bar too and it is still visible,

i guess there is something wrong with the screen??
getting this for 1st time..
the line is visible during the shutdown and when i switch it on too...

Looks like it's the monitor, then. That would explain why I couldn't see the line on your images (apart from the one that you captured with your camera).

so its the fault of ram or video card?
should i have to take the service center...

I don't think that it's your RAM (you would have been getting unexplained errors and BSODs with that). Of course, it doesn't mean that the graphics card isn't the cause of the problem. Try a known good monitor to check, or alternatively try your monitor on another system. If your monitor doesn't have this line when connected to another system or if a known good monitor displays the line when connected to your system, then it would indicate a problem with your graphics card.

thank you,
will get it chcked by dell authorised center.

You may have already checked this out, but I had a similar problem with a Dell monitor and it was definitely the monitor. Changed video cards and machines, and the problem only got worse. Started out as a line, became a narrow vertical red band, eventually ate up the left 1/2 of the screen. Was told that it would be cheaper to replace the monitor than to pay $200 or so to get it fixed -- and still have a 3-year old monitor.

yes ur right ... started as red band and now it turned purple/blue..
so, did u get ur fixed?? wats was the cause of the this thing??

No, didn't get it fixed. Wasn't under warranty anymore. And, new monitor cost about the same as fixing the old one.

so, ur using the monitor with the problem..

Another point. Is this a CRT or TFT/LCD monitor?

its my laptop display
