maybe the poor thing needs some updated drivers?
anybody around with an extra monitor to try?
Good morning KatGood morning Dale and Aggies
Dale, hope you didn't get burned!!!!
Not much, just enough to make me go ahead and get dressed for work
I have had plans on getting a new moniter with new computer. Maybe I just get the new moniter and see if that solves the currant troubles. Think I have enough pennies for that. Want a slightly bigger one anyway. Think this is an 18".
It's a place to start but I see it's not the only problem. I'm also getting a different black screen where only the site goes black. All the top and bottom stuff is still there.
G'mornin, snails...
Beautiful morning. Too bad it's already 92% humidity and it's only going to get warmer. Still, I'll take it!

A delightful "Aquarium Cleaning" Monday to all!!! (Ugh!)
Absolutely NO progress (or change) in the fence-building saga.
The posts remain where they were and the two fence panels
are still in place facing the wrong way. I guess they are in no
hurry to get anything completed.
Guess I should get started on the fishies' home.

Yeah, the monitor should work with any.
Fran, do you know if it is a HDMI or VGA connector?
The top one is VGA, the left one is HDMI, the right one is DVI.
If it's an older VGA connector, you may as well get a new one anyway. Many graphics cards these days don't even support VGA anymore.
I know it's obvious, but worth checking:
Anyway, make sure the connector is tight. Also make sure tight on the back of the 'puter. Also check the POWER cord that it's firmly plugged into the back of the monitor.
A few other things:
1) Is the problem only while surfing and only in firefox? Try chrome for a while. I've been having occasional "flips" with FF and my older (no longer supported) graphics drivers. It gets a black screen with a white bar on top for 1 second and then resets the drivers.
2) Maybe check windows logs to see if you're seeing messages about graphics driver resets. Search for "Event viewer" if you don't have a icon for it.
3) Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
