Strange lines appearing all over the screen
Posted by Sdq on November 29th, 2005


I used a program to delete some spywares and after restarting my computer,
strange lines started to appear on my screen. I checked with another monitor
and it seems that it is not my monitor's fault. I am using 16-bit colour
setting, if i use 32-bit, the lines will disappear.

Get Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoft.com) and start it from the internal
Administrator account. Or run your anti-spyware tool from there again.
To log on as the Administrator press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the logon
screen and type in the username and password.

You solved your problem in your initial post. Use the 32-bit
settings for then the lines disappear.
