Photographs look real bad now. I haven't changed anything, it just started happening today. I tried resetting my monitor resolution, but it didn't help. My owner manual was no help either. I have Earthlink internet access and I downloaded an update this morning to accelerate my connection speed, but that shouldn't affect my resolution, should it? Btw, this is a brand new 4 month old PC with a new flat screen monitor, so I don't think I should be having these problems already! Help!

Guest Guest Posts:	Re: Help, my monitor has gone all wonky! I fixed it (4 1/2 hours later, ready to pull my hair out). The earthlink accelerator was compressing web site pictures to make the connection faster. So I removed it, but the darn program reset all my internet settings so I had to reset them all. What a way to waste an afternoon.

What a way to waste an afternoon. AOL does the same compressions. I hate when they do that.
