I think my computer is slowly dying. first the sound has gone out, and i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and that hasn't made a difference. anyway, now the monitor is doing weird things. it has some really wavy lines/distortion on the bottom and sometimes the top. I can adjust the monitor settings up and down and it makes it go away, but then it also changes how websites/programs are displayed too. any ideas?

Got another computer you can check the monitor on? That should narrow it down between the monitor and the computer.

Got a laptop? Check to see if it has a place you can plug in a monitor. Mine does.

Well, poopie-doo. If I come back over to Houston, and if you don't get it figured out in the meantime, I'll bring my laptop over, and we can check it out on there. But keep trying other stuff in the meantime in case we don't get back over.

Do you know anyone local with a laptop? They could give it a try and you'd know if it was your monitor or a video card.

Now this is something y'all may or may not know it pains me to do, but pfffffttttttt .... whatever that means. Oh! And I have been watching the weather ever since I returned to central Texas to the flood/tornado/ice/storm - in winter it is apparently about ten degrees colder here than Houston. Edit: So, the plus side, or down side, depending on how you view it, is that if we buy a condo in Texas, it could more likely be in Houston than Austin.
