This is a common occurrence, and it is the proximity of the two monitors. The internals of the RGB monitor is intefering with the other (something to to with magnetic fields, don't flame me I'm a programmer not a hardware tech.). Try shifting the RGB monitor further away (if possible) and that should alleviate the problem somewhat. I have notices that Electrohome 19" monitors have been the worst and Mitsubishi screens have been the best. I have no connection with the above companies except that we use their equipment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Eaves "We, we are going to make you an offer you, you can't refuse" - The Maltese Falcon ACSnet ( jon@wehi.dn.mu.oz ) UUCP ( uunet!munnari!wehi.dn.mu.oz!jon ) Internet ( jon%wehi.dn.mu.oz@uunet.uu.net ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
