I have searched several sites including this forum and have read (it seems like) everything that could ever have been written about shaking screens, but to no avail.

I have a windows xp that was only shaking while in dos mode until last week. Now it shakes anytime the screen resolution is below 1280x1040. I have tried:
1. Switching screens
2. Changing the hardware acceleration
3. Checking for items that would have magnetic properties (although that would have been a constant shake, I wanted to cover my bases)
4. Back when it was just a dos problem I thought maybe we had a RAM issue so I went the route of removing spyware, virus scans, registry scan, and defragmenting.

Is there anyone who can help me with a new direction or should I just go to the doctor and get some special glasses?

First of all, I'm assuming your are using CRT(Cathod Ray Tube) Monitors. If so, then you can buy one for about $20.

On the other hand, I think there is a problem with your Windows. I had the same problem once, but it was fixed when I formatted my Hard Drive. You can re-install windows and see if it fixes it. If not, try formatting, because sometimes there are files that causes this.

Also, it could be a problem with the Serial pins of the Monitor cable. Try tightening the screws of the Serial Cable.

Yeah I used compressed air on the cable pins to clean them and then made sure that they were tight. I can't format the thing but I would be willing to explore for a file that might cause this problem. I did try a new screen off a computer that was working fine and it did not help.
