I use a different monitor than the one that came with my computor. I have an
HP and the monitor is an E-machines 17 inch.
 
The problem with monitors bouncing up and down has to do
with earthquakes. You may have a slight problem in cheap
homes near railroad tracks.

If it is only the picture in the tube that is unstable, it
is probably a problem with the monitor, although it could be
a driver problem.
Borrow a monitor from a friend and see if it runs OK. Be
sure that you have set a display properties (resolution and
refresh rate that is supported by the monitor, generally
1024x786 at 80 Hz will run on any 17 inch monitor.

If a different monitor has a stable picture, then you know
that the problem is the eMacjines monitor. You'll have to
decide if repair or replacement makes more sense.

If the monitor passes the swap test, then check the video
card and drivers.

thanks for your help. I am still experiencing problems though. This is the
second monitor I have had after the initial one failed. I can't find the
driver info to install the right driver for it, sice I got it used. any
Ideas? Thanks for your help!
 
Now it's time for you to use your eyes and grey cells.

Look at the monitor [front, back, top, bottom and sides] until you identify
what would be the model number. Or else look at your original purchase
receipt or invoice.

When you've got the model number go to:
http://www.emachines.com/corpinfo/corpcontacts.html#

Write an email to them asking for the XP drivers or where they can be
obtained.
 
Do you have a motorized device nearby, even a magnetic
type device.

I used to have an old clock above my monitor, each minute
the cards fliped (Pre LCD digital) the monitor would
twitch.

Drove me crazy until one day !!!
