A friend of mine has a 3 year old HP Pavilion with a 17 inch HP monitor. It
is a 650 MHz, 128 MB RAM, running Windows 98. Her video card is listed as
NVIDIA VANTA with 8MB of  RAM. It is an AGP card.

A couple days ago she started getting lines or shadows across her screen. If
she has a window open and it does not fill the screen, the title bar will seem
to extend as a shadow, in both directions across the screen. It is much
lighter than the color of the title bar but it makes it appear as if you have
streaks on your monitor. Sometimes when a window is open, there will be 8 or ten of
these streaks on the screen. They all come from  darker items on the screen
and are perfectly horozontal. Any ideas on what the problem is would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA
