Every once in a while I get little dots on my screen when I do window moves or the screen scrolls. It seems to happen when its humid? and it is pretty annoying. When it originally happened someone told me it was because my cables for my drive and monitor weren't screwed in completely. This seemed to fix it for a while. Now it's happening more often. It could be a memory error but I can't find a diagnostic program for chip-ram. If anyone has had this happen or knows how to fix this problem please respond. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I'm Bart Simpson - who the hell are you?"
