Dear Chris Have you tried to re-install the display driver anyway? Alternatively try going back to a working drive image made before the distortion problem ? If neither of these work I fear that it maybe time for an engineer . If it is out of warranty I do know a good computer repair man but he is based in London . I know that you are in the UK but I seem to recall you are in the Midlands somewhere?
