I have heard this problem from 2 other people. With them, they tried
swapping monitors and video cards to no avail.
In continuing below, after running both Symantec and Adaware (btw - Adaware
did find Alexa and MRU items; cleaned them) and re-booting, display went
back to normal.
Also, when using VNC into the laptop while screen was bad, VNC screen had
same lines. If it is hardware related, VNC would not have display problems,
correct?
