One day I just started up my computer and was confused by these little dots
on my screen. They are either red or green depending on what I'm doing on my
computer. They are VERY small and spread out evenly on my computer. Also, all
my desktop icons and text suddenly became larger. The dots are in rows and
columns and there are about five dots in a group. If you could help at all
that would be great.
You can try updating the drivers as suggested by the others, but this is
probably a hardware issue. Either your monitor or your video card is
failing. To determine which, connect the machine (assuming a desktop
since you didn't say) to a different monitor. If the problem follows
you, then you know it's the computer. If the problem doesn't follow you,
then you know it's the monitor.
If it is the computer, uninstall the video card and swap it out for a
known-working one. If that solves the issue, replace the failing card.
If you have a laptop, you can't do any of the above yourself. Contact
the laptop mftr.'s tech support for assistance.
