my monitor keeps doing this
it has a slight "vibration" effect (similar to the way it shakes when
you degauss it, not as intense though)


Some individuals are quite sensitive to the 60 Hz 'refresh rate sometimes
set as a default.

If you're using Windows (95, 98x, NT 4.0, 2000, probably XP) check the
monitor refresh rate under display properties.

Right-click on a blank area of the desktop, select 'properties', select
'settings', then select 'advanced'.

You should see a tab for 'Monitor'.

A drop-down menu will contain by default the refresh rate(s) available to
the monitor.

If it is set at '60', select a value such as 72 or 75 from the list.

Follow the prompts to save the setting or re-adjust it.

You may need to perform some minor screen re-adjustment (to re-center the
image, etc.) after the change to the refresh rate.

yup i've tried moving the speakers around, the thing is they've always
been in the same place

i'm thinking it might be something directly below, or in the room next
door

theres a speaker close to the ceiling in the room directly below..but
its never plugged in

A speaker is a magent. It doesn't need to be plugged in to genrate a
magnetic field... Try moving the monitor or speaker from the current
location and see if the problem persists.

Also, are you docking your cell-phone / wireless within less than a
1.5-2 meters from the monitor?

E.

thanks for the feedback guys, but yup i've tried it all
speakers have been on other side of the room
no docking of any kind, mobile phone is miles away (..not literally
ha)
monitor is 1280X1024@75HZ on a GeForce4 Ti4600

and also its intermitant (bad spelling) - it can last 2mins, stop, or
last ages..it comes and goes

its very confusing

Ye you tried moving hte speakers round, but did you try moving the
screen to other locations, as the earth has some EM radiation too which
can affect it and that depends on the place you put it...

Mind you that if you have lots of metal or other good conductors, they
will be conducting your EM influence all around your place. So put the
scree on a wooden or other none conducting surface e.g. a bed or
something like that.
Also try to increase your refresh a bit more if you can, as sometimes
these rates are still to low for human eye not to notice them (depends
on the person though)
Secondly are you using a decent monitor cable, which has the ticker
rings around it at least at one end, as that should also take care of
any EM interfercen coming through the cable

I had one case where the monitor and computer had to be moved to
another spot in the room. Interference was coming from a motor (like
the furnace) or other AC circuit in the house such as a fluorescent
light fixture. I forget what it was, it was something stupid. I do
not agree that speakers can cause this sort of problem. There is not
enough AC interference in that kind of circuitry. It is all low
voltage.

You should also check your AC outlet for proper wiring. You can get a
wall plug tester for under $10 at the hardware store. A poor ground,
or wrong wiring in the power plug, can cause weird problems that are
hard to track. This could be why I have no hair left.

Have you had recent alien visitations?

Good luck.
