Red Lines On Screen Using Firefox
I have been getting Red dotted lines on my computer screen using the latest version of Firefox. (Win XP. SP-3). This only happens using FF. IE-8 works fine. Fresh reinstall FF doesn't help. Tried to Google this, can't find any answers. The lines appear and disappear. Got a good screen shot on the Webroot Forum, but it happens on any website. Anyone know what's causing this?

Thanks Jim, just done a Un/Re of the graphics card driver and red line are gone. 😃@ wrote:

I remember back when I had to drive home with one eye open so I could see single after having too many drinks. LOL@ wrote:

It may be worth checking the GPU`s temps, that type of graphical issues can sometimes be due to the GPU getting a little hot.
