    When I scroll up or down, the text changes color while scrolling. For example, on CN, the dark blue text turns neon blue. When I stop scrolling, it's back to normal. It's very annoying. Does anyone else have this problem, and how can I fix it?

    I should also mention it has a flat screen monitor. Maybe that's where the adjustment is needed?

    make sure you have the latest video card and monitor drivers - that is most likely the problem

    A quick question:

    Is this a whole new computer? Or did you upgrade your existing computer to XP?

    It's a whole new puter. I didn't install the driver for the monitor cause it says you only needed it for WINDOWS 95 OR 98. Should I?

    Have you run the Windows Update Utility and installed Service Pack 1?

    If you go to, I think it is, http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and let it downloand and install all the stuff it wants to, an updated video driver may be included.

    If it's not, go to your video card manufacturer's website and see if you can download the drivers for XP.

    did you buy it on credit? perhaps thats the problem

    HAH LOL

    j/k

    you might try adjusting the resolution first.... go to start / settings / control panel / display

    change the resolution and color depth - see if that fixes it - it could be that the computer is set too high or low
