all of a sudden my monitor has a big shadow

[mrulrich]

cruising along without any obvious incident to cause this problem....

Suddenly my display has a big shadow going to the right on everything.
I tried the obvious...turning on and off the monitor and turning off
the computer, but still there. any thoughts, PLEASE??

You haven't given us enough information to help you. We don't even know if
you have a CRT or LCD monitor or if you have a desktop or a laptop.

Assuming you have a desktop computer, attach it to a different monitor. If
the problem is gone, then replace your original monitor as it is dying. If
the problem follows you to a different monitor, uninstall your video card
and swap it out for a known-working one. If that solves the problem, you
know your original video card is dying.

If you need more help, post back with more details, remembering that we
can't see your computer/monitor from here so you need to be descriptive.

Hi,

Have you checked the monitor controls?

Why aren't you asking yourself if YOU have moved something in your
room or on your desk where you have your computer which would cause a
shadow on the display? Have you perhaps turned on a lamp or other
lightsource recently which is providing light coming from the LEFT of
the display?

Because I'm not the OP and therefore am not the one with the problem.
