Have you tested it in Windows Safe Mode to see if it happens? Is it only MS Office? -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

Guest stan Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Re: dashes or hyphens all over screens I don't see any dashes or marks on any screens when in safe mode. They do appear normally in programs other than MS Office. I will try updating my display driver....thank you! I will come back if they don't disappear....
