Time for a new monitor.

It's 10 years old. That is quite along time for computer stuff! Your monitor seems to be giving you a heads up that it is "circling the drain"!

If money is the issue, there are good deals to be had in the used market since monitors usually last a long time.

LOL, they were good monitors in thier time. Just cant take whats being thrown at them nowdays.

Do yourself a favor and get a newer one, as mentioned there are some great deals out there now as there are so many used ones you almost have to give them away to get rid of them.

Heres one example. http://www.off-leasecomputers.com/monitors.html

Many others like it out there. Might want to try flea market, ETC as well.

Youll notice and appreciate the differance.
