Hello Tech.
>>>I was going to suggest getting another monitor, connecting it to see if "The Ghost" is just a fault of your current monitor, i.e. a Hardware problem with your monitor . Seems a logical step to take, which from what I can understand you have not checked ?<<<
>>>Or, if you don't have another one, just use a Live CD with Linux to check...<<<
I am quite sure that this was not a monitor problem, and I did at one time have U'u running on this Vista, no ghost then. If you have read my previous comments, you will remember that a cleaning of the cookies "seems" to have sent the ghost to oblivion. This is still a new system, it will be one year old this February 29th, ooops, March 1st this year. The monitor is LCD and in prima shape. Your suggestions were very valuable, thanks a mega.
Time will tell now if the cookies were the cause of this curious occurrence, cleaning them out routinely now is a little pain as it takes all "saved" names and passwords out of the system, this might be a safer way to operate anyway.
Have a great day. JP. aka handcuff36.
