OK, I see now. I assumed from your post that you were seeing four  
separate images stacked vertically on your screen, in other words  
that the image was a screen capture of your problem. Seeing your  
example in context, I realize it is two separate examples of with and  
without interlace artifacts.

So what does your screen actually look like? Is it a single image  
with interlace artifacts ("mouse teeth") or multiple images ?
