white shaky lines

[sunstar]

i have white shaky lines going across my screen , is there anything i can do to cure this ? its getting progressively worse every day ....

[Answerprancer]

Laptop ? desktop ? flat monitor or CRT monitor ?
Do the lines look as if they are "burnt" in ghosts of a page that has been on your screen for a while ?

Had a problem with my screen and after a bit the tube goes in the screen. Could be that problem starting.

Progressively getting worse every day means you need to arrange a funeral for your trusty old friend and invest in a new one.

Not ...nececelery ;-)
(if it's an LCD monitor).

Before you buy a new monitor - make (in an art program) a sheet that is just plain white.
Save it as a jpeg (or BMP) disable your screensaver/monitor switch-off then open the picture and press F11 (so it fills the screen) then just leave it for a couple of hours.
I had something similar and this worked.
