Hmmm...

It's possible that this could actually be a software problem. Have you checked to make sure it's using the correct video
driver? Rather than let Windows auto-detect the display, I'd download the driver from Dell and install it manually.

If there was a virus, there's also a possiblity that a supporting .dll or other file could be corrupted or the wrong version.
This could be a real bear to troubleshoot.

Very good. I talked to the guy I got it from yesterday, and he said that he
took it somewhere for a virus problem and it came back with this problem. I
will research this possibility. I don't know why they would go inside for a
virus, but who knows?
