SCREEN shakes and wiggles but not all the time

I have no idea where to go and post. So please don't be
angry with me if i post in the wrong place.
Can anyone tell me why suddenly my screen shakes and
wiggles? It does that sometimes.
I have a 98 Window Athlon with a 17" screen. What can i do
to stop it.
Thanks ugo

Electrical interference in the power supply, such as an air conditioner
turning on and off, can create this effect. If you suspect this then a line
conditioner or filter can improve things. Also, move the power cord to a
different outlet, preferably on a different circuit.

I gave it some thought.. I don't think that it could be
electrical interference. Also what is a "filter" ?
Most of the time this wiggly stuff happens when i go
on "Paltalk" don't know if you know what that is
And when it happens i just sit very still here and pray
that i doesn't crash ..which has never happened, but often
i just reboot and then it will be ok for a little while.I
even tried other outlets.. Some one suggested something
about outgasssing please don't laugh but i did not trust
him since he was just in a room in "paltalk"
Well
thanks again
I am confident that these probs will eventually be
corrected with help from you.

I would not believe anything I hear on paltalk, whatever it is.

Degaussing is a process that removes residual magnetism from the display
components. It is usually automatic at turn on - if there is a 'woomp'
sound when you turn your screen on then that's the degausser. The symptom of
needing the process is blurred colours or incorrect colours, especially if
they occur in patches. It has nothing to do with shaking or shimmering.

If you have a nearby source of electromagnetic radiation (some fluorescent
lights can do this, as well as motors and large speakers, and any radio
transmitter) then this can create shaking.

A filter is a device inserted in the power lead that smooths out
irregularities in the power supply.

A possible source of the problem is a faulty monitor. I have also heard of
viruses that do odd things to the display. However, power line problems are
by far the most likely cause.
