My emac screen keeps getting covered in lines and the windows get messed up. I only have to move the screen or use expose to sort it out - but it's really annoying!

anyone got any ideas???

not covered unfortunately - its been running fine for nearly two years - then it started happening... do you think this is a case for the professionals then?? ie a hardware update??
 
I guess that the logic board will need to be replaced.
You should verify that software is not causing this by creating a new user, and logging in as that new user. If the problem occurs then, hardware is the culprit, I'm guessing.

Also, try your Apple Hardware Test. This came with your eMac, either as a separate disk, or listed on the label of one of the disks, with simple instructions for booting to that test. You may get an error code, or simply see the problem exist even while booted to that test.

A shop should verify that you have the problem when an external display is attached, and should give you a repair quote.
