Please Help. Monitor mystery

I sonetines like to leave my PC on overnight while I sleep. This morning I wake up to find my screeen blue, everything is collapsed and very very blurru. When I try to go to settings on my monitor. No longer are the words in english. Also nothing I press works. Please help me resolve this.


When I load IE or netscape, there is no way for me to type a web address. That part of the screen is either very high, or just gone. makes me wonder if it could be a virus. Just got the monitor about 6 months ago. it's a viewsonic .

Here's some more info. When i click on my monitor's settings buttons. Things are in english, but I can't adjust anything, except make some things worse than what they are. Balance I can only make higher, which only makes things worse. Won't go downa t all, no matter how much I press it. When i try changing contrast, looks like some sort of asian letters appear right next to the bar. Nothing changes though. Screen is still fully blue and I barely see through it.


Hope this can give someone a better picture of my situation.

Try a different video card, see if that's the problem. Try a different monitor, see if that's the problem.

Try both at once, see if that helps things. Let us know the results.

Switch videocard, switch monitors. If the problem isn't resolved then, I have no idea.

COuld somneone please do me a favor, and post a number for viewsonic. There is no way for me to get to their site. I can get ehre because it's in my favorites. I definately think it's the monitor, because the PC is working fine.
