as I've told Sun about this, I will now tell you guys. I have a bar on my screen that's covers a small portion of the screen. however it is vertical and that is rather irksome to me as I can't see shit that it covers. I'll be looking into getting a new monitor or a new computer or soemthing since this laptop is old as fuck, it may be a good idea to get a new comp. So I'm just posting this thread to let you guys know I'll be contactable thru MSN via an iPhone. Kbai
