I am getting vertical red/pink lines on my monitor Synmaster175V. (Are they waves or pulses?) from .5 to 2 inches apart; sometimes they slide down the page as a page refreshes. I am sure it is not the fault of the monitor because 1) when in Safe mode they don't appear (or in an entirely new, much more random pattern) 2) Samsung sent me a brand-new monitor and it responded the same way...

I am running Win2000 on a generic Dell system.
