| | Ghost images My monitor is suddenly showing ghost images or what I would call 'vapor trails'--pale greyish blurs to the right of all text or pictures, icons on desktop, in any Windows program, on internet pages, etc. I've rebooted (no change: but the ghost images do *not* show on the blue & white HP screen or the all-black screen before Windows starts up--but as soon as it goes to Windows there they are). I've adjusted everything possible on the monitor with no change. Is this a problem with Windows? With my video card? Any suggestions very welcome! Thanks, -- Turkk |

| | Re: Ghost images Since it happens in all programs, it's not a Windows Mail problem. I suggest you download and install the latest video driver for your graphics card. If that doesn't help, your graphics card may have developed a hardware problem. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Turkk" <Turkk@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:5439BD5B-B23E-4E9D-A9AF-96A5D0C9230A@xxxxxx Quote: > My monitor is suddenly showing ghost images or what I would call 'vapor > trails'--pale greyish blurs to the right of all text or pictures, icons on > desktop, in any Windows program, on internet pages, etc. I've rebooted (no > change: but the ghost images do *not* show on the blue & white HP screen or > the all-black screen before Windows starts up--but as soon as it goes to > Windows there they are).

| | Re: Ghost images Sorry; I thought I was posting this is general 'windows vista', not 'windows mail'. Anyway, about 8 hours after the problem appeared, it disappeared.
