Len and David, Thanks for the replies. The reason my computer was set to 1956 was because I reset the CUDA button in my hopes it might help something. I tried all of your suggestions but still no luck unfortunately. I tried turning off any extensions that had to do with the monitor, but that changed nothing either. I'm basically fine when the welcome screen pops up. Then the monitor flashes once and then the lines appear across the screen. Do you think a fresh software install is in order? Kevin
