Are they always vertial shadows, just to the right of the image/text?
Could be due to a badly plugged-in VGA cable, a cheap KVM switchbox or
cheap cables, or a too-high refresh rate.  Possible solutions: wiggle
the cable plugs, try plugging the monitor directly into the PC if you
have a switchbox, or lower your refresh rate (the flicker gets annoying
to me below than 75Hz though).  If you have an LCD monitor and are
using a VGA cable, getting a video card with DVI outputs will fix the
problem too.
