Just recently I have noticed a single, faint, straight, horizontal line running across my screen. It's always in the same place. Would changing graphics card drivers cure this or is something else causing it? Thanks.:(

If it towards one of the edges, then no... another graphics card won't cure it. All trinitron monitors have a thin line that runs throughout the screen area. If you're just now noticing this line, it is likely that you just haven't paid any attention to it in the past. It is one of the downfalls to the trinitron technology, but most folks figure that it is a fair trade-off for superior picture quality.Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill

Re: Line across my screen
Cool ! ....13.7 inch viewable monitor! You are defineatly into the "retro" computing era. Not sure how old that monitor is (prolly a date on the back) but i'm guessing that it has seen a few years of service and is probably near the end of its' life span. I've been in some tough financial circumstances myself but it just might be time to find the $50 or so that it would take to upgrade to a good used 17 inch CRT monitor.Antec 900 case (4 120mm and 1 200mm lighted fans + UFO flashing light set + 2 12" and 1 6" Mutant Mods meteor lights) - Aerogate ll thermal controller - Asus M2N-e SLI - AMD 64 X2 AM2 6400+ - Corsair TX650 PSU - MSI 450GTS Cyclone OC - 2 X 2GB Patriot Extreme Performance PC2 6400 RAM - SATA 320 GB Seagate HD, SATA 300GB Maxtor HD and IDE 80 GB Samsung HD - Floppy Drive/Card Reader Combo - LG SuperMulti Lightscribe 18x DVD RW - Plextor PX-716A DVD r/rw - Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Umm .... Geor9e the original post was from 2003. Not may of us had LEDs back then. As far as the parts list in his signature ... those change whenever one updates them and most of us have updated once or twice since 2003. You are correct in saying that your LED has an issue when it has a line across it.Antec 900 case (4 120mm and 1 200mm lighted fans + UFO flashing light set + 2 12" and 1 6" Mutant Mods meteor lights) - Aerogate ll thermal controller - Asus M2N-e SLI - AMD 64 X2 AM2 6400+ - Corsair TX650 PSU - MSI 450GTS Cyclone OC - 2 X 2GB Patriot Extreme Performance PC2 6400 RAM - SATA 320 GB Seagate HD, SATA 300GB Maxtor HD and IDE 80 GB Samsung HD - Floppy Drive/Card Reader Combo - LG SuperMulti Lightscribe 18x DVD RW - Plextor PX-716A DVD r/rw - Windows 7 Home Premium 64
