Hi John, Your method worked. Thanks a lot for it. But I have another problem now - I see a lot of fine horizontal lines blinking on the screen. It seems that the screen is divided into a number of very fine horizontal lines. It happens to be a major discomfort for the eyes ! Why is this problem occurring and is there any solution for it that you know of ?
Thanks again !! Farhan.
