Can u fix this? My display has a weird highlighted area on it..?
My 2 year old was playing on the computer when I wasn't paying attention and hit some keys that did something to the way the screen is displayed. (I have Windows XP). There is now a small highlighted area on the display that is brighter than the rest of the screen. I don't know how to get rid of this highlighted area... everything else is normal looking.
Do you know how to fix the screen so that it all displays at the same brightness? Thank you so much for your help.
Thanks guys. It's CRT. The display had a completely rectangular highlighted area on it. I tried to get rid of it by restarting. Didn't work. I turned off the computer for a while, and turned it back on, and now it is fixed. Go figure. :-)

What is the type of your display??? I mean LCD or CRT ? If it is LCD, i think that your child hit the display and as a result, some pixels become stuck. I might warn you that these kind of defects are extremely difficult to repair other than replacing the whole panel. Well, if it is CRT, right click on the desktop and change the theme to the default one (i.e. Windows XP).

On the monitor menu there should be a magnetic option it looks like a magnet with a lighting bolt through it. Choose that option and you monitor will get a shock to loosen up any magnetic problem that may have occurred.
