Monitor has diagonal waves

My 19in Dell Trinitron gets diagonal waves in certain games. BF 1942 and America's Army are the only 2 it happens in. I turned off my speakers and the waves still appear.

Again, the only time it happens is with BF1942 and AA:O


Does anybody know what this could be caused by? Its pretty annoying.....



Thanks,
Max

What video card are you using? Try updating the drivers.

Installed new drivers and it seems to have done a good job of cleaning it up, but there are still small, for the most part barely noticable waves.


This monitor is about a year and a half old, and im going to be putting it on a new rig soon..... with a 9700, is there a good chance i'll have no problems??



Thanks,
Max
