Title: Do I need to go to the opticians???
Post by: Whiskas on November 24, 2002, 20:15

Is it me or does the background on the index page keep changing? sometimes it has the moon and other times it has purple lines ??? perhaps I need to get some glasses ;D

Sounds as if you need a degauss Whiskas.  There should be a degauss button on your monitor.  Otherewise just try a reboot but make sure the monitor switches right off.

It doesn't change for me Whiskas. It's always a really jaggy piccy of the moon.

(Note to self - find a better picture  ;D)

Anyone else having this problem?

The symptoms dont seem to point to needing to degauss as thats usually patchy areas of discolouration on the screen.
Dont worry if you havent got a degauss button as all TVs and Monitors have a degaussing circuit built in.
This degausses it on switching on,so if you think you have a problem just switching the monitor on and off will degauss it  :-*


As its not a web page fault,should this be moved to hardware  ???
