Hello

I am hoping that someone can help me with an unusual problem. Upon returning to my CPU which had been running normally all day, I noticed that the screensaver I use was much darker and more dull. When I tried to use my CPU I noticed that all the applications had a strange sort of "shadowy stripe" on them, much as they do for me right now. At first I just assumed that my monitor had gone bad or had some problem, but when I changed to a brand new montior, it was to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea what may have happened, and what I might be able to do to fix it?
I have already tried a new montior (as mentioned above), rebooting and searching under windows help. No luck.
 
First, just as a sanity check, make sure the color depth has not changed -
go to Display Properties \ Settings tab. If it's set low, try bumping it up.
If you can't bump it up, then you need to install a graphics driver for your
video card.

If that wasn't the problem, your video driver may have some custom settings
that affect your display (such as gamma settings) - what video card are you
using?
