I have this old dell latitude 600 and the screen keeps giving me 8 vertical lines about 1 inch thick accrosse the screen. 4 look the same and the other 4 look the same. the vertical lines are off the screen but way distored and streached out to where i can heardly make anthing out. I can see the mouse move when i move it around but it onlt seems to give me 1/8 of the scrren over and over accrose the screen. this usually happens when i open a new window if i wait for like 5 min it goes away but keeps coming back. It also keeps on freezing on me. This lap top is runing xp pro no sp1 or sp2, a p3 700somthing, and 265mb ram.
