References: 5060059@hpccc.HP.COM Reply-to: MMI@psuvm.bitnet I have a VGA PROF. The problem I am having is a series of vertical lines that are dark then light in the 800x600 mode. If you have seen air flowing around airplane wings or cars in ads, that is exactly what these lines look like. To make a long story short, here is what I tried: 1 - 386-20, VGA PROF, Mitsubishi Diamond Scan monitor 2 - " , different card, different monitor 3 - 286-10, VGA Plus, " , different location 4- 386-25, VGA PROF, NEC Multisync 2A monitor I have been annoyed by this problem for a long time. *** HELP WOULD BE A MIRACLE *** I am running PageMaker. I also tried the full version of windows 2.-- *** Michel Maksoud.

The Thomson Ultrascan I own is essentially a Mitsubishi Diamondscan, and it exhibits the problem you describe. This was described to me by a tech at Thomson as "magnetic interference". I don't know what that means, but I've seen it on many monitors, including two different NEC monitors. One monitor that doesn't have the problem is the Sony 1303. This is fortunate, as it's a much better monitor than either the NEC or the Mitsubishi, in my opinion. The Sony 1302A might also work, but I've not tried it. BTW, this is all with the Paradise Plus 16, which is a VGA Prof with 256k. -J. John P. Silva "I drank WHAT?!" Inova Products, Inc.
