viewsonic monitor

hi, i just bought a new computer and a new monitor yesterday. i bought a sony vaio 2.53 GHz with dvd-r drive, and a 19" flat screen CRT viewsonic monitor. my problem is that when i turn on my computer, the image on the screen shakes back and forth very slightly, but very noticable. i dont know what to do about it, i have never had a problem like this with my last computer. thanks!

I see this quite often with users in the office that have electronic devices near their monitors... even something as simple as a lamp, cell phone, alarm-clock radio, etc... Check for any devices near the monitor... if you have speakers flanking your monitor and they are not well shielded, it can cause this as well.

If all that is not the cause, it could be a video card issue or the monitor itself.
