My monitor is a couple years old. All of a sudden, I have these pinkish dotted horizontal lines on the screen. I've checked the connection and powered down several times, but it didn't help. Is there anything I can do, short of replacing a practically new monitor? Thanks so much
I believe it is a monitor driver issue, I suggest that you upgrade your monitor driver using internet connection to get the latest driver or install again the monitor driver that comes from your CD.
Normally when there is problem on hardware like your monitor, the drivers are mostly affected. I believe the monitor driver is corrupt that cause an error in your monitor.
Try to upgrade by going to control panel, click the view by large icon, choose on device manager, choose monitors, on the submenu of that monitor, press right click to view the update driver software, just click that to get driver updates through internet. After updates finished, restart your computer to take effect the new setting and try to check if it solves your problem.
