Hi, I just tried to download Google Earth and the program just destroyed my display. What happened is that a portion of the screen on the right edge of the screen has been lost - i.e. that portion on the right now functions as the starting point for the screen (with the Start button and all of the icons that normally are located in the left-hand corner of the screen). So the Screen looks really warped - it starts on the right and then continues from the left corner of the screen. Consequently any windows that are opened also start way on the right and continue on the left. I have absolutely no clue how to fix this. I tried the display options, but didn't work at all. Please help! Thanks, Frank

In the normal way I wouldn't have thought a download would have caused this, top suspicion monitor trouble, otherwise graphics card. Try going to: Display Properties/Settings/Advanced/Adapter. Look at the refresh rate. Note what it is set at and if it is not already at "Adapter Default" then give it a whirl. DerekW

Derake your an absolute star - that did it! Thanks for your quick input! Yet another reason to be suspicious of the evil gmail empire. Happy Holidays to you! Best, Frank
