My monitor seems to have gone all weird on me...everything is all washed out, and I can't seem to figure out how to change the brightness/contrast. Well, let me rephrase that: I do know how to change it (there are little buttons on the right side of it), and I've been futzing with it for the last twenty minutes, but nothing seems to help.

Will have to look into this, see what I can do to fix it. *grumble grumble*

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Well, looks like I may need a new monitor at some future point. I went through the whole troubleshooting bit as well as connecting with a person through Gateway Live Chat (who went through my system and did a check of some of the drivers), and found nothing wrong.

Put it this way--the monitor came free with the computer and I've been using it daily since spring of 2006, so of course it was going to wear out sooner or later. So I guess I'll have to start shopping for a new one at some point! :p

What was that?

That is too bad about your screen. One should get way more than two years worth of use! Then again, this is a handy excuse to get a nice flat screen that is equally nice and wide!

Yeah, I figure I should have gotten more mileage out of it. I did just download an updated driver for it, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I guess I can deal for awhile longer...like I told Emm, I used to have a CRT screen that was all fuzzy from overuse...

Well, I'm getting a raise in pay soon, so maybe this will be my little Christmas present to myself... :p
