In more detail, it seems to shake up and down by 1 pixel, making hi-res text appear blurry. Does anyone know WHY this is happening? And, even better, does anyone know of a *simple* solution ?????? Thanx for any info. I've seen the same thing happen every so often on my A2002 monitor. It looks like somehow it is displaying in interlaced mode, while I've done nothing (that I can thing of) that would have switched workbench into interlace. To fix it, I think what I've done was run the program setlace, to turn on interlace, then run it again to turn it off. Something like that, at least. It hasn't happened to me in about six months or a year. On the other hand, I have had a shaky monitor problem lately. Every twenty to thirty minutes, there's some sort of a "pop" and the screen jumps, kind of like a power surge. It *could* be a power surge--I just moved into a new house so who knows what the circuits are like--but I have been unable to correlate the jumps with any major appliances switching on an off, and I also have a fairly expensive (for what that means) surge supressor/isolator on the line (a surge fried my monitor a couple years back so I learned my lesson). Interestingly enough, I also left the amiga on with the workbench hand showing for quite some time, but never noticed the screen jump. Could be that I missed it, though, or that I didn't watch for long enough. Any ideas? Could there be a problem with the amiga? I'll probably try another power outlet in another part of the house, for my next guess. monty kosma@alan.decnet.lockheed.com
