HELP!!! My screen is freaking out!!!

#1 Post by Bookworm » Wed Oct 27, 2010 9:28 pm

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!

After installing Lotus Smartsuite under Windows 2000 on my 600X, then installing Screencam from the "extras" folder, I restarted, and sudenly, the picture started moving around on the screen!

If I move the mouse pointer to the right, the picture moves to the left, wraping around untill the left and right edges are almost but not quite to the center.

If I move the pointer down, the bottom of the screen moves up, almost to the center, but not quite. The top does not wrap around.

HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?

> Uninstall screencam?

I did that right away. No change.

It can't be in the hardware, because Windows 98 works fine. Maybe some weird driver installed with Screencam, and corupted the display?

The picture moving with the pointer seems like one of those accessibility things, but I never even opened the accessibility settings.
