Im working at a company that teaches different computer thingies.
My problem is that when we have a class the screens are flimmering. And that aint so good for your brain when you are learning, the students are getting angry at this, and I whant to do something about it.

There are a railroad just outside our office, it lays very close. I know when a train goes by, the screens allways flickers, but that dont usually happend otherwise. But the last days it has been flimmering all the time, it could be because it is so damn cold right now, and therefore the screens gets flickerd by the electrodisturbance from the railroad...

Any suggestions on this?

Sounds to me as though you need to get a surge protector or line cleaner on your power supply.
I bet the the trains are affecting the power as it passes by.

Hmm, that would probably do it, it seems like a good solution.
But I dont think my boss will let my buy that for 30 comps.
Fock and I will be the one that gets all the complains about this, seems I will have to live with this untill we move the office. http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smilies/cwm31.gif

A UPS (uninterruptable power supply) would be an even better move. Power from the wall can be fluctuating all over the place and the UPS will deliver a perfectly smooth sine wave of the correct voltage, unless the UPS "trips" because the incoming power is too bad. A UPS conditions power going to the computer... http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smilies/cwm17.gif
