Hello and welcome to TSF, cbinuv!

PLEASE, refrain from typing in all capitals, as it gets very annoying and hard to decipher.

I'm not quite getting your problem here, you're screengrab looks nice and normal - what am I missing?

cant see it on the image mate because its taking a printscreen of what the laptop sees not what you see (if that makes any sense), but this happens on desktops all the time due to the vga cables coming loose, unsure of how to solve the problem on a laptop though

Go into Device manager & un-install your video driver -
START | devmgmt.msc | expand the "display adapter" tree branch, right-click on the video device | select "uninstall"

Re-boot. Vista will reinstall the driver.

Are your video drivers up to date?

Regards. . .
