i've had that happen to me sometimes..... usuallly it is due to the refresh rate

Actually, it's usually due to some sort of EMI interference. Make sure there's no electrical devices, fans, motors, florescent lights, speakers, your computer, etc next to your monitor. It's the curse of CRTs. You might even try moving it to the middle of the floor in a different room or even a different house as far away from everything (including the computer) as you can get it. If it STILL does it, then the monitor could be bad too. Could also be caused by the video card, but that's less common.

Previous poster was right about the EMI interference, this is probably your problem with the shaking screen. I have the same problem in my room. Increasing your refresh rate should counter the problem though. I have my refresh set at 100hz. Anything less and it starts to flicker. Good luck, keep us posted.
