good question there too Inger, it's not real old though, maybe a couple years, hmm I'll have to try that when I get home from mom's as I'm going tomorrow morning for a couple weeks and am barely making time to sit and relax every so often to check forums and emails and such lol. I have a couple other monitors I can try so we'll see if that's it when I get home. hmm makes me wonder if maybe I have software that needs to be installed for the monitor itself that I'm not aware of? I'll look around on that too as I recall seeing a CD somewhere for it and just never thought about it when I reformatted lol. It never did this before this last update of HTML Editor though, but... that update was also right about the time I formatted and installed Windows 7 so it's hard to know which one is the culprit. I'm pretty much thinking that I'm just missing some part of updating some driver or another that I need for Windows 7 that maybe I didn't need for Windows XP, if that makes any sense at all LOL.
