Had this problem with a monitor at work..no matter what I did, it wouldn't go away. It was because he left his monitor on while he went on vacation. Had an imprint of the start menu and desktop shit on it. Boss said it's basically burnt on there so we threw it away. Unless someone can replace the glass, nothing you can do I believe.

The crystals are permanently burned into your screen.
That happens when you play madden alot on an HD TV, the scorebar at top gets stuck there...
I'm not sure what you can do to fix it. Sorry

Couldn't you have just turned off the monitor?

Eh, it's not that bad.
And I found out my thing is LCD, so I'm just using the simple ways to fix it.
Quite a few ways to fix it due to the LCD.

Could be worse your computer screen could look like this!  and there is nothing you can do just get a new moniter they don't cost much what did you old one look like and post a pic of what your screen with it frozen like you said it was looks like... maby when we see it maby we can help?  
ModEdit: Resizing your images works wonderful. Also, he said he is fixing it because it's an LCD screen and it is fixable.

| I didn't think LCD's were supposed to burn in, I've never heard of that. I have a CRT that has the Windows 2000 logon screen burned in and it's been there for years, there's no way to correct it on a CRT, I dunno about an LCD but I'd imagine it's permanent. |

Eh, I fixed it peeps.
It wasn't burn in, it was 'Image Persistence' I guess.
| Code: |
Like the burn-in on CRTs, image persistence on LCD monitors is caused by the continuous display of static graphics on the screen for extended periods of time.
What this does is cause the LCD crystals to have a memory for their location in order to generate the colors of that graphic. When a different color is then displayed in that location, the color will be off from what it should be and instead have a faint image of what was previously displayed.
This problem is most common for elements of the display that do not change. So items that are likely to generate a persistent image are the task bar, desktop icons and even background images. All of these tend to be static in their location and will be displayed on the screen for extended period of time. Once other graphics are loaded over these locations, it may be possible to see a faint outline or image of the previous graphic.
Is it permanent?
In most cases, no. The crystals do have a natural state and can shift depending upon the amount of current used to generate the desired color. As long as these colors do shift periodically, the crystals at that pixel should fluctuate enough such that the image will not be permanently imprinted into the crystals. Having said that, it is possible that the crystals could get a permanent memory if the screen image does not change at all and the screen is left on all the time. It is very unlikely for a consumer to have this happen as it is more likely to happen in a fixed display such as those seen as display boards for businesses that do not change.
Can it be prevented/corrected?
Yes, image persistence on LCD screens can be corrected in most cases and is easily prevented. Prevention of image persistence can be done through some of the following methods:
1. Set the screen to turn off after a few minutes of screen idle time under the Power functions in Windows. Turning the monitor display off will prevent an image from being displayed on the screen for extended periods of time. Of course, this could be annoying to some people as the screen may go off more than they wish.
2. Use a screen saver that either rotates, has moving graphic images or is blank. This also prevents an image for being displayed in screen for too long.
3. Rotate any background images on the desktop. Background images are one of the most common causes for image persistence. By switching backgrounds every day or few days, it should reduce the change of persistence.
4. Turn off the monitor when the system is not in use. This will prevent any problems where the screen saver or power function fails to turn off the screen and result in an image sitting on the screen for long times.
Using these items can help prevent the image persistence problem from cropping up on a monitor. But what if the monitor is already displaying image persistence problems? Here are a few steps that can be used to try and correct it:
1. Turn off the monitor for extended periods of time. It can be as little as several hours or it could be as long as several days.
2. Use a screen saver with a rotating image and run it for extended periods of time. The rotating color palette should help remove the persistent image but it could take a long time.
3. Run the screen with a single solid color or bright white for an extended period of time. This will cause all of the crystals to be reset at a single color setting and should erase and previous image persistence.
Conclusions
While LCDs don't have the same burn-in problem that affected CRTs, the image persistence problem could come about. Hopefully this article has addressed what the issue is, what causes it, how to prevent it and how to correct it. With all the preventative steps in place, a user should never really have to encounter this problem. |

Usually this happens on a CRT monitor. I recommend buying a new monitor.
