 Graphics Card Problem? Oh dear... l0Lz0rz. 
If only you could see whats happening to my laptop LCD monitor right now as i type this message. Its almost as if all of the colours are moving and swirling around. I can see the start bar and top menu bars (primarily blue) shifting and flowing to the right with some weird kinda shading.
If i minimise the browser window and look at the desktop i can see my Ripple wallpaper flicker and shimmer. Its quite a sight i assure you.
I tried pressing Print Screen and pasting into Paint (to show you guys the laughter) but no luck. It gets pasted as the original (non-fucked) version.
This is indefinately a hardware problem. But is it the GPU or the monitor? *sigh* it looks like my precious powerhouse laptop is showing signs of being close to death. Bah, well see what happens. Ill give it a restart and hope for the best.
No, i am not taking any drugs!
{EDIT}
Ok. Restarting it does nothing. 
Ill try and change back from the Longhorn theme to classic now...
{EDIT}
Bugger.

first...replacing laptop gpu...not gonna happen. 99% chance it's integrated into the motherboard, so you're screwed. If not, maybe you could, but laptops are a bitch to work in. Everything so small and compressed.
Far as your issue...sounds like an LCD problem to me. If it was the GPU, the screenshot should've picked it up, if i'm not mistaken.

Ok. After uninstalling the driver and unsuccessfully solving the problem, i got desperate. I googled the symptoms... lo and behold! My graphics card has packed it. A guy had a similar "green line" problem and the guys on that forum said that the graphics card had been "toasted".
So, in conclusion...
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!
Edit by Arathorn: dammit derf! That really fucked the screen of this laptop, an prolly most other people's real pc's as well, so I changed it a bit.

Dude, put spaces in. Don't screw the page up.
And satis, what I meant was, if you screen is fucked, (lcd) then no matter what you do, on that particular screen, the print screen is gunna be fucked.

naw, tftp, lcd, same shit (at least as far as I'm concerned).
err...Mole....not following. If you're saying, if the LCD is fucked, tehn anything you see on the LCD is fucked...well...yea. But you can't take a screenshot of the 'fuckedness', post it on the internet, and expect other people to see what you're seeing.
monkey balls! They smell like monkey balls!
anyway...anyone know what stage of screen rendering a screenshot is taken at?

Yeah, with you now. I never saw a screen shot from derf, and so I assumed he was looking at it on his own broken screen.
