I have a Compaq Presario 1220 laptop running Windows ME. The past few days, I've noticed these little grey dots on the LCD screen. They don't seem to be dead pixels or sub-pixels - if I have a black background, they're not noticeable, but if the background is red, purple, blue, etc., I can see them clearly. No hardware or software changes have been made that caused this. Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it?

It sounds like a persistent image. Here's an article describing the issue (this is for an apple but the lcd screen is the same)and how to make it disappear:
