Is this something you can take a screenshot of? Because if you can't
get a screenshot then its probably a monitor problem, if you have a LCD
monitor it might just not like that resolution.

It would help if you mentioned the brand and type of monitor. Any LCD not
running at native resolutions has issues of some kind. I don't know of any
LCD with a native resolution of 1152x864. They go 1024x768 14-15", 1280x1024
17-19", 1600x1200 20 +". CRT's should not do this at 1152x768.

OP says it's a "Samsung 763mb 17" monitor," Augustus. And,
presumably, it wouldn't be an LCD monitor or he wouldn't be having
problems with a 60Hz refresh rate.

Yeah, I can. I will try to get one later tonight. I am at work so I
can't do it right now.

Do you have the latest drivers for the screen loaded? Is 1153x864 at 75hz a
native resolution for this screen or are you forcing it?

The highest it can go is 1280x1024 at 60hz. I can't force it 75hz. I do have
the latest Catalyst drivers and monitor drivers (a bit old from the Web site).
And yes, this is a CRT monitor (forgot to say SynchMaster). See
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000067DN... for details.

Hmm...didn't notice that. Thanks

Weird, it is not showing the graphic glitches this time. Not sure what
happened. Hopefully, they are gone forever.   If they do, then I will
screen capture and follow-up. Thanks all!
