Hi, I've added an external monitor to my aging Imac 17' intel core 2 white. Because there are vertical lines on the screen. Using a mini dvi cable and samsung via vga. Here is my query. The desktop shows but no dock or icons. Should I try to reinstall the os and see if the icons and curser et al show up? Or is there something seriously wrong with this machine. I've read stuff about video cards or something overheating. Other than that she runs fine. I think I can take it to the apple store for a free estimate and then decide it its worth it to fix it.
Sorry for the long questionz
thanks,
