Okay, gave that a shot, still fuzzy.
It was a longshot, but at least it probably made a nifty sound.

Lower the resolution you are running at by one notch.
It is now at 800 x 600 or whatever.
Big...and still fuzzy.
I think it's the monitor itself, now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Once I had a cat throw up into my monitor, and the monitor got really dim and fuzzy.
Did you (or someone else) get vomit in your monitor?

Did you (or someone else) get vomit in your monitor?
Dunno. I'm at a new desk. I suppose it's possible.
Doesn't smell like vomit, though.

That does sound like the monitor. You can hook it up to another computer to make sure if that is a possibility, but I would be shocked if it wasn't the monitor.

Yep. Sounds like the monitor is bad.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I did a hard reset on the phone (a scary or useful feature of the system tools folder) and it fixed the problem. I just had to synch up all my contacts and favorites again.

MM, this might seem obvious, but I know I forget about it... is their dust caked on the glass? With all the static electricity, it could be caked on something fierce. A low tech solution??? Just an idea. Odds are you already wiped at it. Odds are better that the monitor is doing the happy death march to the volcano.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Does anybody have experience with using radio for wireless broadband? Turns out I've got a local company that has it available. I'd be getting about 1 Mbps (for $40/month), but I'd assume it'd have to be better latency than satellite, right? Satellite could give me 1.5 Mbps if I were willing to pay $80/month. But the latency problems would prevent me from using VOIP.
Right now I'm getting 3 Mbps with cable, so it'll be a drop for me either way, but cable's not available out there.
If the radio were mobile, letting me connect anywhere within sight of the tower (which is most of this town & neighboring) it'd have been a no brainer. But it's a fixed antenna on my house, so it'd be comparable to a satellite connection. But the equipment is much cheaper, the monthly is half the price, so if I can use VOIP and avoid laying in the phone lines, I think it'd be worth it.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
okay, so I have a dilemma. As we know, I've moved. I have my desktop computer in the house, but haven't hooked it up yet because i haven't unpacked the monitor, plus I don't have a place to put it. I also have a laptop. is there anyway to hook the two together so that I can get a file off of the desktop. Can I use a serial cable?
