I have a UNIQUE computer problem

Sub Styler · 23 Jul 2013

Definately sounds like EMI. Are you on the top floor? Could be a mobile transmitter although I would expect that to affect the whole display and tv`s too.

They will be available at the bottom of every one of your posts.

Obviously New York is not your OS, and United States is not your Antivirus.

Do you have a camera to take a picture of your screen?

I think we are all interested in a visual.

I am actually on the first floor of my building. And nothing else in my house is affected. Not t.v.s, nothing.

I've tried digital camera pics, but they always come out dark after I check them. I've taken like ten, I don't think digital cameras work well with PC screen's. I am running PC protector for windows 7, that automatically comes with the OS? I have it set to be enabled very time I log on. I have all the latest 7 updates, firewall enabled, and I have Windows Malicious software removal tool on my desktop. I don't surf beyond a few familiar websites so I don't need Norton really.

Well technically the whole display is affected considering it looks irregular. But mainly it's the left side that throws things off kilter.

Actually both would be good. Screenshots (which I expect will look normal to us) and pictures from a camera positioned central to the screen to show the porduced output.

Forgive my mistypings. Using mobile right now.

I've sent screenshots to people of this issue, and the screenshots show no distortion. I think it's because it only takes photos of what the signal is sending out. Not what the monitor itself shows.

But you haven't sent a screenshot or a photo to us.

Do you have any other threads floating about in cyberspace that I'm not aware of that shows this screenshot because the two that I found don't have any screenshots.

Is it a screenshot or a photo? A screenshot is a screenshot, is a screenshot. A photo is a photo, is a photo.
A screenshot does not use the signal sent to the display it uses what's rendered on the screen!

To bypass the "signal" take a damn photo and post it!

And if that's the way your thinking then you have a bad monitor.

If you do not post a photo in your next post, I am un-subscribing to your thread!

PC protector does not come with Windows.
Google PC protector and figure out what you have on your PC, it may be malware.

Did you ever see if you can hook up the PC to a TV using DVI?

@Anak +1 on your last post - I agree.

Ok here's a screenshot. Hope it illustrates the problem for ya.

Here's a tiny pic link to the screenshot also. If you look at the bottom task bar, you'll notice the slant/off-kilter ness. It spreads upward also to the browser window.

Nope, the screenshot is no help. Did you use the flash when trying to take a photo? Turn off the flash and hold the camera steady, better, sit it on a table or something in front of the monitor.
