Default Horizontal lines on monitor screen

Recently, short horizontal lines started appearing on my monitor screen. When
I move the cursor around, little white lines appear as well. When I reboot
the computer the problem goes away. What is causing this problem and how do I
solve it? My computer is a Dell Dimension 4100 running Windows ME. The
monitor is a brand new Optiquest Q9 flat-panel display. This problem occured
on my old M990 Dell monitor too. Thank you in advance.

Hi:

According with your post you have tried two different monitors, so we can
discard a monitor problem.

I think the probable cause could be a VGA memory problem. Just in case, try
to see if there is an updated version of your VGA drivers. If not, see if
you have the chance to use another VGA for your computer.
