Hmmmm...

I'm guessing there's 3 major criteria that are causing it to jump, but they're all related:

- Monitor problems: Always happens, just your unlucky day to find out you got the bad egg of the dozen.
- Refresh rate. Sometimes people accidentally set their refresh rates higher than their monitors can handle, and the cause and effect of this is that you get very weird feedback, from flickering, jumping, blank screen, repeated scanning of the screen.
- Last but not least, if you installed the incorrect driver, might've used an incorrect refresh rate, or screen resolution even.

But since you mention that there are various problems, such as the jumping and the dimming of the screen, plus hue saturation - leads me to believe that there's something wrong with primarily the monitor, or video card. However, doing a monitor reset would not fix your problems if it was the video card. It'd still stay there.

Do you use a CRT or an LCD? Got a brand + model number? I know this is probably dumb, but check if your monitor connection is loose. Usually I notice blue and dark tints due to the plug not fully in, happens all the time while I was on IT fixing people's monitors at work because they kicked the damn cord.
 
I had the blue thing on the screen on my PC at work, I got the VGA cord replaced.

Thanks for the suggestion. It is a LCD that I bought few months ago. At first I was thinking that it was monitor cause of all the jumping but now I know it's not the monitor cause the setting screen didn't move with screen. If it was the monitor, the setting screen would have moved along with rest. That to me rules out monitor.

I know it's not the connection cause yesterday, I moved the desk around and disconnected all the wires and power cord to everything. Moved the desk to new position and reconnected everything. The screen was moving to right before and after moving the desk. That tells me it's not the connection.

I just reinstalled the driver from CD that came with motherboard, which is same as I had before reinstalling. It has not jumped again since. Either the windows update screwed up the driver or the driver file got corrupted and when I reinstalled the driver, it corrected the problem. Lets hope it stays that way.
 
Still hasn't jumped once since I reinstalled the driver. Must have been corrupt. Glad it turned out to be that simple. (knock on wood)
 
Jake, it is not finish yet... it is only few months left. :]

Glad to hear it worked out.
If you have future difficulties, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM or message. I am always in to look into helping another brother out.
 
you have 7,450 posts left, NorCal20...

.. and earlier, I had a couple of hours playing against Steel X on PS3 on free roaming via GTAIV - killing each other every time, it was hilarious.

Sorry, I was not here posting much because I was hospitalized for a few days, with bad bronchitis/pneumonia. The dr. put me on stronger antibiotics and I feel much better. I came home from the hospital on the 7th and then, the earthquake in Costa Rica here hits the very next day, gave me a quite scare and I ran to my brother's housekeeper's and hide with her in the closet. The earthquake is about 20 miles away from my brother's, the earthquake was 6.1 and we are lucky that we are not hurt but it's so sad to hear that other people in San Jose were killed and injured and everything was mess everywhere there, according to my brother. He had to go out and help these people around the clock as it's part of his job. Everyone knows my brother. He can speak Spanish, which is a good thing.
My brother just brought home a black leopard (panther) cub. He asked me to take care of her, which I am now. It's so cute but she's frightened of me and everything. Poor baby! Her mother's nowhere there. My brother said he is trying to look around for her and other cubs. He looks very tired.
Well, I better stop this for now and I have to go back and feeding the cub. Milking mostly. Sorry again for not posting here much but I will try to post later again.
Take care until next time,
Sosie

I am back. This am, my brother and the vet stopped by check and take the black leopard cub to his place where they do have special medical care. My brother said he and his 10 friends are going out again to look for the mother and other cubs today. If they find them and they are taking them to the vet until they are well enough and then, the vet, his team and my brother will take them to the zoo.
I was sad because I enjoyed taking care of the cub and of course, I will miss her. That was my first experience but I enjoyed it immensely, anyway. The cub slept with me. How cute?! My brother said he already took some pictures of me and the cub while we were sleeping, which I didn't know. I asked him to give me some pictures and so, I can post some in here in other thread. He said sure. The vet said I can stop by and take care of his animals. I said yes. That will keep me busy. :D
 
Awwwwww! She trusted ya to taking care of her! How sweet! I've never took care of wild animals. We took injured squirrel to vet (we believe it got hit by snow plow). So they took it in and took care of it....so I don't know if it survived or not.

Yeah, I guess so... she's a good cat. (I was surprised that she didn't bite me. *phew*).. Me, either. I never took care of wild animals before, either until now. It was my first experience and it was very challenging for me as well.
Awww.. That was very nice of you to bring an injured squirrel to the vet. Unlike other people. I wish that I see more people like you to bring injured animals to the vet. I guess they are not. You are a wonderful person, LakeTahoe. :) God bless you.
You can call the vet and ask how's the squirrel doing but let's us hope that squirrel is OK. *wink*
