Boot Screen is WEIRD!!!

carrie640 · 07-17-2005, 05:41 PM

Yesterday when I booted up, I noticed that BOTH the Dell boot screen AND the Windows XP boot screen are TOTALLY off-center. Even off center, the things aren't lining up with each other.

For instance:

MICROSOFT
WINDOWS XP

OK..I don't know if that is what the boot screen reads exactly, but it all lined up funky.

Any ideas on what happened and how I can fix it? I ran Norton Utilities, defrag....Ad-aware..all that stuff. I do it on a regular basis so I have no idea what happened here!

Does everything look ok when you get into Windows?

Have you cleaned your monitor lately? You might have accidently adjusted the 'knobs' a bit.
