I have a fairly new samsung 710n 17" monitor. There has been a couple of times when I load a game - Enter the matrix and the MOH Pacific assault demo - that the picture goes all screwy. It looks like a black line shaped like lightening flashing up and down the screen (sometimes doesn't move - just in 1 spot). I have tried using ctrl-print screen to take a picture of it to show you, but the black lines don't appear in the picture. I still see them if I load these 2 games. I have only noticed it in these 2 games.

I have an amd athlon xp 2100+ and an msi fx5700le 256mb vid card.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I have dx 9.0c and the moSt up-to-date drivers.

EDIT: I played around with startup and it seemed to be something running in the background. I have no clue what the things in startup are, so if anyone has advise, plz let me know.
