BunniLeigh Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Hi all, strange one here, for some reason this morning, a black line appeared down the right of my screen, so my windows vista does not fill the whole screen (tried to do a screen shot, but the line does not appear!!!) Ive checked the screen resolutions which normally is 1440 x 900, but this is causing the problems, if i change the resolution to 1360 x 768, the screen is back to normal, but everthiing seems bigger... if you see what i mean. I havent installed anything, ive tried the menu on the monitor, but all to no avail. Wondering if anyone has any ideas. Thanks Quote
RandyL Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I've seen strange things like that happen when the monitor buttons were accidentally pressed. Perhaps that is what happened. For instance my grandson turned my LG monitor and accidentally pressed the buttons on the back right hand side that I didn't even know were there. In my case I had a slight color shift on a split screen with a shaded bar seperating it. After contacting LG by chat they not only told me how to fix it they told me how to disable it from happening accidentally. Even though you tried fixing it that way it might be worth contacting the manufacurer to rule that out. It's also possible that you're drivers are corrupt or need updating or that a recent Windows update caused the problem. Windows updates did just recently come out. Then again it might be your monitor or graphics card/chip is bonkers. Try another monitor on your computer and try your monitor on another computer. That's a good place to start trouble shooting.

RandyL Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Glad you got it figured out. At least you didn't need to buy a new monitor. Quote We are all members helping other members.
