Monitor:
Will rule out monitor issue or graphics hardware since you say it works fine on other accounts. Therefore it must be something on the computer software on this particular account thats causing the problem. whats the chance of a screenshot? Also when logged in as admin if you control-alt-delete can we have a list of processes running. Suspect something bad has loaded up in this profile and is b0rking the stuff that appears on the desktop. Printer: Since you're in XP, if you click start>printers & faxes, does your printer appear there> If you click start>right click on 'my computer' and select properties > hardware > device manager - does you printer appear in the list (and is there any ! or ? on its icon). Is the printer USB and is it connected to the same port that it was previously connected to (since you moved it)? and more stuff to follow once more info is posted
