I recently acquired a second monitor and have discovered that I have to place the monitors about two feet apart to prevent interference. Is there anything I can do that would allow me to place the monitors next to one another? Both monitors are Sony 1304's. I am running one at 1024x768 resolution off a RasterOps 108+, and the other at 640x480 off the IIci's internal video. I also have discovered another problem with some programs bombing with id=03 when I open a file, close it, and attempt to open another file. This problem occurs with Photshop, but not Illustrator, with Nisus, but not Word. Also the problem does not occur if the lower resolution monitor is the startup (has the menu bar), unless I move a window to the other monitor. I am running system 6.0.4, is there any fixes related to this problem in later releases, or does anyone know what is causing this.

This gives an electrostatic sheild between the two monitors, which should reduce or eliminate the problem. If it works, you can do something to make it look nice. Painting it will not affect the performance, provided the ground connection is made to an unpainted piece of the sheet. Hope this helps!
