obnoxious computer
I'm having a weird problem with my desktop computer.
Frequently, right in the middle of my monitor, will appear a transparent gray overlay containing a white 0° .
It very much seems to be triggered by motion...like if I bang on my desk or kick the floor I can sometimes trigger it. But often it is just triggered by typing, or a slight fidgeting of my body. Usually it appears twice in a row and then is gone for awhile.
Oh, and I'm running Vista. I have one internal HD and two external HDs as well (all Seagates)--I mention this because hard drives are the major thing I know of to have motion sensors (for free-fall situations). But how such a thing would trigger, and make its way to my display, has me baffled. But if not the hard drives, then I don't know what hardware would trigger this at all.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have googled for this numerous times and found nothing. It's really really obnoxious to have this thing distract me all the time. I would be tempted to call MS, but naively I purchased the OEM version of Vista, which does not include MS support incidents.
