I would check out the monitor to see if it's a hardware problem.

1) Try updating video drivers from your video card manufacturers web
site, for your platform. Also see if that web site has a knowledge
base which covers your problem. There are several news groups for
microsoft and video which might be of greater assistance as well.

2) Ditch IE and get Opera at http://www.opera.com. See if this works
better. For me, it fixed a whole bunch of problems. Microsoft products
are really not very good.

Yes, what else are you turning on when the shaking starts? We have 2
monitors on the same table, same electrical line, and when one is
turned on the other will shake. Although you might want to rethink
going to "suspect sites" anyway ;-) !

Sorry. Got to have a little fun.

Eunice, it's not a good idea to threaten your computer with violence.

I have no idea what you mean by "shake and quiver" but I have seen something
similar after loading certain Java applets using Sun's JRE Plug-in. Certain OS
UI elements tend to "flicker" after loading certain Java applets. After
visiting these suspect web sites check your tray (the indented area by the
clock in the lower right corner) for a Sun Java icon. Right-click it (and wait,
it can take a while for the menu to appear), then choose Exit, does the problem
go away?
