Hm... What do you mean with ``black background''? If it is one
column...

CRT? LCD? Assuming it is CRT: It is damage to your monitor? As in, if
you move the pictures with the buttons of the monitor, the line stays
in the same spot?
You might have burnt the green and blue dots off of your CRT
monitor. If your monitor bombarded the middle of your screen on a
hSync it couldn't handle... You must've seen a bright white/cyan line
when it happened! Current monitors don't die when you do this for half
a second... Hm... Did the line appear suddenly or gradually?
