Okay, I have a problem I need help with. Here's what I was told to do: I just purchased a 386/33 with a SVGA Non-Interlaced 14" monitor. I was told NOT to plug the monitor into the desktop so as to avoid having any power spikes generated by the monitor from affecting the circuits on the motherboard. So, I purchased a surge protector strip from my local hardware store and I plug both the computer and the monitor into it. The problem is, the monitor sends interference into the house electrical system and creates wavy lines on the TV sets. I was told I needed to buy a filter. I strolled into the Radio Shack at my local mall and asked about such a filter. I was shown a filter that I plug my TV's into. I was expecting something I plugged the monitor into. What can I do to eliminate the interference without spending a lot of money? Thanks in advance, Jim
