So far I see no problem. For some reason. you chose to boot Windows in safe mode. During that boot mode, the screen goes black and starts displaying lines of text detailling all the drivers it is loading. At the end of the process Windows will run in safe mode. Try rebooting normally or rebooting to the last good configuration that worked. If there are problems please be more specific.
You may be having a problem with the graphics driver of your laptop. You can try to download the graphics driver specific for your laptop model and operating system. The best to check if it is not an issue with the LCD is to attach an external monitor and check if the line appears on the external display.
First of all, what operating system are you seeing all of this on ? The lines sound like issues that you can have, if the refresh rate is too low, not enough scan lines 'filling in the blanks'. Increase your refresh rate to at least 60 Hz, more if your monitor will take it, but trust your eyes when things look straining, then it's too high. Easy enough to swap out the video card if your system is a desktop ? Somewhere around you is a computer salvage center that sells working, used parts. That would be your backup plan if the refresh rate doesn't fix it first. If this is happening during boot up, press <F8> constantly off & on until a screen appears and asks you if you want to go into safe mode, say yes.. allow it to fully come up, then close it normally on a restart. That will fix most driver issues.
Are you running on battery or AC? Try using the power cord, remove the battery and see if it continues. I have seen a battery that is on its last legs do some weird things to a computer. Also, check your power management setting. Control panel, power, and set the computer to "always on" just to see if it could be a power management setting. If none of this works, i would back up all your files, and try to reload win xp from scratch.
To isolate the issue.please connect the notebook to external monitor with the help of VGA port.(Blue PORT) on the notebook.if it good with out any lines.you need to fix the LCD screen of the Notebook.
Either your graphics agp slot needs the driver updating or the card itself is faulty, check the agp slot for dust and gently moneuvre the card in the slot to see if the lines appear to change and check that therea are no bent pins in your connecting plug or card.
Check on the internet to see about compatability with your card and motherboard.
In the past i have had problems with nvidia cards on certain motherboards, but alwas found ATI cards to be ok.
