Last evening, suddenly, my computer went a bit screwy. The view on the monitor (for any and all programs) is, well, "weird" for want of a better term. The view is "flinty" and there are horizontal lines across the screen, like shadowy lines, not bold or anything. It's just weird.

Things I've noticed lately:
- Whenever I reboot my system, Internet explorer seems to reset to a default setting, which means I have to move (drag) the address bar back up to the top of the browser, and I have to close out the search function.

- ICQ has been causing some problems, in that it doesn't interact with my programs all that well, especially netscape. I notice that a few hours after I launch ICQ, my programs begin to "degrade"

What I've done so far--

- I've uninstalled ICQ
- I've ran all maintenance programs, defragged, and I've run a complete virus scan. All is fine in those areas.
- I've shut down and rebooted many times.
- checked all video, driver and monitor settings, and I've uninstalled and re-installed the video driver, I've reset the display settings and reset them back again.
- followed the various test and instructions in the help wizard pertaining to video problems.

Nothing seems to work to correct this. I've also looked at the "system restore" function for Windows ME, but there doesn't seem to be any restore markers set previous to today for this system. There was this morning when I first checked, on the date that I bought the computer, but now I open system restore and that marker isn't there! WAAAAAAA!

Any ideas?
