It all began when our new (17') monitor looked terrible in the top bar of Internet Explorer 6. It looks odd and extremely muddy. Strangely enough, it occurs mostly in Explorer and some web pages more than others. Later, though, we reduced the Explorer window, and the interference was now also visible at the top of the desktop.
When we connected a headset with microphone (in order to chat over MSN Messenger), there was a terrible noise. Like the stuttering noise of a radio when some thing interferes. We discovered that the noise waved in the same beat as the noise of the screen.
We also discovered an extra noise when when we move the mouse, especially when moving the vertical bar in the right side of a web page,in order to scroll a text sown.
So something seems to disturb both the screen and the sound. Also when we actually, I spite of the noise, try to chat with MSN, the person at the other end hears that terrible noise, and it is too bad to have a bearable conversation.
We have the following hardware:
AMD K2 6, 500 Mhz
300 MB ram
Microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard.
Shared internet connection through wireless router (D-link).
Of course, we suspect that somehow all this wireless stuff has to do with the problem, but then again, these things should be designed as to not make such a noise in the speakers or monitor.
We have tried to change the frequency of the keyboard and mouse, but to no help.
We have tried to turn off the screen, since the problem mainly occurred since we got the new screen. No use.
We have tried to disconnect the wireless receiver that corresponds with the D-link router. No result.
The headset works perfectly on a portable computer (wirelessly) connected to the same wireless router, so maybe the problem lies in the wireless keyboard/mouse or in the PC somewhere. Or could the sound card be broke ?
Any ideas ?

Ok. I get the idea.
