Double Images on Monitor

Question

Last week our monitor started showing 'double images.'  I am challenged just typing this post.  I was traveling and did not get back to check until this weekend.  We have an Inspiron 545 with a Dell ST 2210 monitor.  There were no recent changes to either devices.  The 'ghost' image seems to be shifted to the right (as one views the screen).  I connected the monitor to another computer and it views normally.  I have no other monitor by which I can check the computer/video card.  The display adapter is Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family.  I have tried to upgrade drivers and the response that I have the most updated ones.  My trouble shooting indicates that all devices are operating corectly.  I have ch\anged resolutions, with some improvement when I go to 800x600 or 1280x720, but the double image is still there.  I am at a complete lost, other than purchasing another video card.  Thanks for any help. At your service as I seek yours,   Johnie T

JohnieT, Did you try the native resolution, 1920x1080?

I have gone back over all of the changes to this computer. Finally, I made the choice to disconnect a "video splitter cable", which had been connected and working quite well for many months. Disconnecting this cable and connecting the monitor cable directly solved the problem. I have not tried to use the split cable on another machine. Perhaps, this will help someone else as well.

Yes, I am sorry I did not mention that!  I did a system restore to one week prior to the start of the problem.  It did not change any of the results.   Ays/ JohnisT
