Hey K_T,

If you can, try the new monitor for a couple of days or so. If you don't experience the problem, it might very well be an issue with the moni itself. As I said, trying yuor problematic monitor on another system will pretty much tell you for sure.

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.
