Heh.... there's a screensaver in Linux I've got called XTeeVee, which simulates a broken monitor. you get interference and snow, and sometimes the frame jumps, and t all looks scarly like you've got a shafted monitor. Heh.

I take that isn't your problem though...

Buy a new monitor, or failing that, plug the computer directly into your brain.

If you're lucky, there'll be a place in your town that deals in second hand computer equipment - this is often a good place to find monitors, as they tend to outlive computers.

Even better is if you find a graphic arts place that's having a refit; they'll be thrwoing out a load of top qulaity monitors, and if you're lucky you'll be able to pick up a really nice monitor for a song. Just don't get and LCD/TFT if you plan on playing fast paced games!
