JI> There is a very fine line across the monitor that I have seen a number
JI> of times, in Photoshop, although writing this now, I don't see it.

Flat screen CRT monitors have those lines. There should be two of them.

JI> Lately the monitor has been flickering.  It is doing it now, and I have
JI> seen it using other apps like ProfileMaker.  It's as if it's going in

Is the video cable tangled up with the power cable? What you describe
sounds like noise interference, usually from the power cord. You may
be using a cheaper video cable with little insulation (ground and/or
ferrite - those fat blobs at both ends of the cable). Also make sure
you are using a refresh rate of at least 75Hz (90Hz or above is
better).
