How about a little more information, like the computer, version of Windows
XP, video card, when this problem started?

How about when the problem started? What were you doing? Have you turned
the monitor off and then on again?

Have you used the Dell online support?
Here is a link to Dell that tells you how to identify your video card:
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/supp...
Cut and paste into your address field on your browser. Remove any resulting
blanks. Or navigate to Dell, Support, and put in Inspiron 8600.
