Sure, it's not like it's going to get any better. ;-) Is this a CRT or LCD monitor? Video card problems can cause some oddball things to appear on a monitor's screen, so keep that in mind. I had the video RAM on my video card go bad a while back and while it did not have that exact problem, it did do other "odd" things. You should probably try and swap a monitor now just to be sure the problem goes away. That way you'll know for sure if it's the monitor. -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/cheap_reliable_web_hosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/PCworks-computer-help-email-list.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vern" I have an Acer 22 inch monitor that might be 2 years old. There is a shadow to the right of everything that appears on the screen. Have had this for at least a month. Should I be looking for a new monitor? Will this be gradually getting worse?
