Re: Computers...

I know this is somewhat off topic but maybe one of you knows the answer. My
dh had to move to Boston today, without us :( because we haven't sold our
house yet. He took the computer I always use. I went to use the other one
today and the screen shakes/vibrates so much. The text I mean. My heart was
racing and I had instant headache because of it. I asked the kids who usually use
it and they said it does that all the time. Does that mean we need a whole
new monitor? I absolutely couldn't stand it for more than a few minutes.
Thanks~
Amy

Hello,

in order to have it right, the graphics card as well as the proper monitor
type must be installed properly.

When that is done, you must raise the Screen Rferesh Rate in the highest
possible rate, f.i. at 75 or higher, which also depends an the screen
resolution.

The higher the screen resolution, the lower the possible refresh rate.

If the refresh rate is very low, than the screen is flickering.

Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced, Monitor (install the right
type). then Adapter (install the right graphics card), then go back to
Monitor and adjust the highest refreh rate possible.

What type of monitor is it? I know those huge cathode ray tube
monitors, i.e., the monitors that are heavy and difficult to move
around, tend to have really strong powerline EMFs (known as ELF-EMF),
as measured by gaussmeters like the Trifield meter. Or, on the
contrary, is it a flat-panel LCD monitor? Those usually have
drastically lower levels of powerline EMFs. Gunni Nordstrom's The
Invisible Disease, in addition to talking about EMF, also discusses
chemicals used in electronic devices. Another issue that may be
relevant is dirty electricity as researched by Magda Havas. She
recommends Graham-Stetzer filters. I've never used it, though,
although I'm interested to hear if anyone else in this group has tried it?

Several people here have tried Graham-Stetzer filters. Some have
reported improvements, some not, and some even felt worse with them!
As for CRTs vs. LCD, it's not as simple as saying that LCDs
are universally better, as I've certainly found specific CRTs
to be more tolerable than specific LCDs. However, I do use
LCDs now, and one advantage I can see is that you can place them
farther back on your desk, increasing your distance from them!

Or you could purchase ZOOMTEXT 9.1 which you can trial for free I would
recommend this, but its pricey !

Sometimes changing the refresh rates & resolution can help--
if there are more than one available. Maybe try reducing color depth?
You change these in the OS under monitor settings. Could be a bad
monitor, or interference if it's a CRT, or a bad video card or incompatible
video card.

Thanks everyone. Charles, I got your email first so I took all your advice
and instructions and it said it was already set at 75, so I upped it to 85, the
highest there was, and now it's not shaking anymore. And yes, it is one of
those huge monitors, even though it's only 4 years old I think.
