Entire screen has moved up
First, HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!!
Then a kvetch: Oy. If it's not one thing it's another. The problem: I'm using ME with a pentium4. The whole windows screen moved up during the night. The taskbar is about one inch above the bottom of the monitor. I tried to restart about 5 times already and it's still in the wrong place. This happened a few days ago but after I restarted a few times it reset itself. I googled and can't find any info. This is very annoying and I'd appreciate some help, if possible. Thanks! -- Hugs, Erika |

Try this first....
Reboot to Safe Mode Open Device Manager Remove ALL Display Adapters Remove ALL Monitors Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers - hopefully curing your problem. If that doesn't work, then it's quite possibly a hardware problem What about the DOS POST screen? it that shifted up as well?? Do you have a spare monitor you can swap? Do you have a spare graphics card you can swap in? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Erika" wrote in message ...

NO spare hardware! I'll try what you say but it's gonna take a while - I'd better do some data backups first. Hmm - have I updated my drivers? Who knows! Thanks, Noel. Happy Noel! -- Hugs, Erika |

It does sound like it's a misconfiguration problem - possibly the refresh rate - see if the problem sticks after my procedure (it's quite safe - you should NOT lose any data!). If it does, first check the refresh rate in Display Properties (set it to around 70-75) and see if that makes a difference - if not, then reduce the Acceleration by a notch and see if that makes a difference. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's |
