Because that is what has been set as your screensaver.\n\nTo change this, close all windows, right click on the desktop, click properties. In the box that appears, click screensaver.

When you say 'blinking to black', do you mean that it goes black for a few seconds, then blinks back to normal? If so, that is normal for a monitor - It is when the monitor is automatically refreshing itself and re-adjusting its resolution.\n\nAlternatively, you may just need new drivers for your graphics card =)

It's probably a loose connection between your monitor (screen) and you're computer. Check the cables that run from your monitor to your computer and make sure they're not loose.

Have you tried adjusting the brightness? There are buttons on your monitor. There should be one for exit, one for selection and two for scrolling. click the selection button, then use the scroll buttons to reach the thing that looks like a sun.. click the selection button again and then click the scroll button to move it brighter. then click the exit button. you may also have a dying monitor. is it a crt (fat bulky one) or an lcd (flat panel) one

Sounds like it could be a short in the wiring to the monitor. If it changes as you slowly open or close the monitor, then that is it. If it is visible before windows boots up, then that is it as well.

Check out the display properties in control panel.  Some software lets you change the orientation of the screen image.  Otherwise, download any updates and do a thorough virus scan.  It sounds to me like a display properties, or joke program problem....\n\n-Zach

Try adjusting your display settings in Control Panel.

I don't know but the same thing is happening to my computer. So I'm going to stay posted on your question to see if anything helps.

Nothing to worry about, it happens every once in awhile.\n\nHow to fix it:\n\nView>Text Size>then which one you want\n\nOR\n\nhold down the CTRL button on your keyboard and use your wheel on your mouse

If you have a scroll bar on the right, scroll the screen down just enough to get rid of the flashing bar, but so the rest of the screen (pool scene) still shows. I've done this many times....

if using windows go to your display or monitor properties screen, and look for something that says refresh rate and turn it up untill the lines go away, if that doesnt work your monitor might be going bad

You may need to reinstall your video card or monitor drivers.  Check your floppies and CD's for them, if you don't have them, then check the manufacturers' websites out.  You can usually find your model information on the rear decal of your monitor and on the video card itself.

Turn down the frequency.  It's one of the options that you might be able to set from right clicking the desktop and going to properties.  It should be somewhere near setting monitor resolution.\n\nIf you can't even do that, try booting to Safe Mode upon bootup.

It may be because of the electricity fluctuation. Or their may be a problem with your monitor's picture tube.

could be one of two things:\n\n- software problems: fix this first\ncheck for driver updates for both your video (graphics) card and your monitor. install the updates. if there aren't any updates then reinstall the lastest version of the drivers for both.\n\n- hardware problem\neither the monitor or the video card is busted. whichever one has a prob, it will stop working completely eventually. you're looking at repair or replace as your options here.\n\n\na 3rd, but less likely, culprit is the actual video settings. someone may have changed those by mistake so that the colours looked all messed up.

Your monitor probably has buttons on the front of it for controling the brightness and contrast, and it sounds like those buttons are starting to wear out and "push" themselves. You could take it to a computer shop and get it fixed (they can replace the buttons), but if it's an old monitor, you're probably better off getting a new one.

check your video card... or you can use the fine tuning of your monitor located at the bottom side of your monitor...
