I have been getting Red dotted lines on my computer screen using the latest version of Firefox. (Win XP. SP-3). This only happens using FF. IE-8 works fine. Fresh reinstall FF doesn't help. Tried to Google this, can't find any answers. The lines appear and disappear. Got a good screen shot on the Webroot Forum, but it happens on any website. Anyone know what's causing this?

On cursory inspection, it looks like a graphics card driver issue to me. I've had something similar happen on a really old computer a few years ago. Un/Re of the graphics card drivers took care of it.

I remember back when I had to drive home with one eye open so I could see single after having too many drinks. LOL

It may be worth checking the GPU`s temps, that type of graphical issues can sometimes be due to the GPU getting a little hot.
