Warcraft 3 Monitor Problem?

Hi, I'm new to these forums!

Um, my question had to do with Warcraft 3, for some reason whenever my computer runs it, I get half of the screen with weird color distortion, exactly half, no more no less. What's especially strange about this is that it ONLY happens when I run Warcraft 3, I even took a screenshot of it, and when I opened it, the screenshot looked normal color so I either believe this to be a monitor problem or something with warcraft itself.

I contacted Dell and they said it was Warcraft, I contacted Warcraft (blizzard) and they said it was Dell. I have a Radeon 9700 Pro video card, and i recently installed direct X 9.0a and I've tried everything else (new drivers, defragging, degaussing, etc.) a few times when I ran Warcraft 3, the image was fine so I know my video card can support it, can somebody help me please? solve this mystery! Thanks

hey I fixed it, it turned out my monitor (LCD Dell 17") would look exactly like it did during WC3 when I ran 75 hz as the refresh rate, so I overrode the refresh rate to be 60 when running Wc3 and it worked! =)
