monitor flicker

[drmemory]

Recently, the IT guys at my office upgraded my PC w/Win2000. Now the monitor "flikers" (as if the screen was vibrating). I have seen this happen when an electical/magneting field comes close too the screen, or maybe in the same outlet, but there is nothing (that I know of) in close proximity. It is more pronounced when text is up than it is w/just the wallpaper.
Any guesses??
Just sign me as,
"Man, I've get a headache!"

make sure your frequency is set to 75 Hz for a CRT and 60Hz for an LCD.
if its a crt, try to degauss
